...fanatic, poorly armed rebels last week tried to smash President Fulgencio Batista with the ultimate weapon of civilian revolutions: the general strike. But Batista, a tough, wilier strongman than such fallen dictators as Argentina's Perón or Venezuela's Pérez Jiménez, saw the blow coming, prepared well, warded it off with hardly a bruise...
Marcos Pérez Jiménez, the chubby dictator who was booted out of Venezuela in January, picked out a comfortable spot last week in which to languish in exile-a modern mansion at 4609 Pine Tree Drive, Miami Beach. Seller: Ray E. Dodge, onetime Olympic 800-meter runner (Paris, 1924), now a manufacturer of loving cups and other trophies. Estimated price: around...

Neither Pérez Jiménez nor Estrada is anywhere near broke; the strongman is said to have squirreled away $250 million. Neither has Communist or Fascist ties, nor has either plotted against the succeeding government (the ground for denying Perón a U.S. visa). Neither is technically guilty of moral turpitude, i.e., convicted...
