...point. The top anti-Communist influences are labor leaders and the Roman Catholic Church. Last week, in a rededication to the faith that became a tacit show of strength against the Reds, a crowd of 200,000, including a subdued and silent Castro, paraded by torchlight into Plaza Civica for midnight Mass, paying homage to Cuba's patron saint, the Virgin of Charity. By radio Pope John XXIII voiced hope that Catholics would "save the Christian face of Cuba...
...occasion was the 138th anniversary of Panama's independence from Spain, and cooler heads tried to confine it to a university-sponsored sovereignty rally in a plaza eight blocks from the Canal Zone.

Undeterred, Plaza pleaded on TV for an end to Peron's exile in the Dominican Republic. "The church cannot want any of its sons to suffer," he said, "and it is to be supposed that an Argentine exiled from his country lives in suffering."
