...Beckwith again wrote to explain why he had not filled out the form. On Dec. 2, a HEW secretary phoned him to repeat the warning.

...average club player (the estimate is too generous). It has occurred to the father that it could be a great improvement, in the interest of strict fairness, if the computer had an aperture down which martinis could be poured.

If a man is dominant and aggressive the woman simply leaves him. If he is weak and easily patronized the women can stay. There are no struggles...
...Nevertheless, the process of re-education could not begin immediately after the Revolution. First the Cubans had to dismantle the old educational system under which careers meant less than titles which were as often bought as earned. The task of teaching 980,000 illiterates, s seventh of the population, how to read and write also loomed formidably at the beginning of the Revolution. The great literacy campaign of 1961 involved more than a quarter of a million teachers. Despite the loss of many teachers to war and exile and despite CIA-run sabotage and assassinations of teachers, the campaign ended...
