...Castro's rise to power has been a high-minded try at tolerance of the inevitable anti-U.S. excesses of a sweeping revolution; the policy was exemplified in the appointment of friendly, low-keyed Career Ambassador Philip Bonsai. But a fortnight ago Castro falsely charged that a pamphlet-dropping plane from Florida had really loosed bombs over Havana (TIME, Nov. 2). With that premise, Castro proceeded furiously to whip up feeling against the U.S. Dropping some of its imperturbability, the U.S. last week made reply in a note stiff with such phrases as "serious concern," "shock and amazement...

Harvard Square has not been treated to a healthy radical pamphlet in years, it is true, and even private discussion of politics has shrunk to an alarming minimum. But in the libraries and lecture halls, students are quietly absorbing the economic and political beliefs of those whom most "conservatives" bitingly call the "left-wingers...
