The shutters and doors of Havana were bolted, the streets deserted save for soldiers patrolling and police squads riding around in cars. "The Tyrant," paunchy, pock-faced President Gerardo Machado y Morales, had proclaimed "a state of war" in his effort to break his countrymen's general strike against his regime.
