...blasted to pieces a Red company that tried to escape over the beach. Fact is, Seventh Fleet Commander Admiral Paul P. Blackburn's floating artillery can make life miserable-and hazardous-for the V.C. up to fifteen miles from the coast, and his screen of smaller craft on patrol duty in "Operation Market Time" has sharply limited V.C. gunrunning by boat along the shore...
...from Cuba within ten days. Until then, the U.S. is doing its best to keep Cuban exiles from grabbing every little outboard and runabout in Florida and dashing across the stormy, shark-infested Straits of Florida on rescue missions. All last week a doz en Coast Guard helicopters and patrol boats prowled the area with orders to use "every means of persuasion" to keep the exiles from taking things into their own hands. The U.S. even threatened them with civil or criminal prosecution (up to $2,000 fine and five years in jail), if they brought in "undocumented aliens...
...United Nations, despite a concert between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R., can not possibly settle this conflict alone.

Down the road, the chatter of a Russian banana gun joined the machine guns firing at the beach.

Unlike watchmen, the police will not have assigned beats, but will be free to patrol those areas which prove particularly troublesome. In addition, the police will have a man on duty in a central location 24 hours a day, and are trained to use guns. The present watchmen do not carry guns. Instituting a comparable system at Radcliffe--training men and supervisors--would cost about $50,000. During the past year, the watchmen have spent 90 per cent of their time outside, so the three men being retained by the Cliffe will be adequate to patrol inside the dormitories...
