...communicating the seriousness of our purpose to our European allies and in enlisting their cooperation. We need to establish far better cooperative measures of passport and personnel surveillance at the ports and borders of other Latin American countries to control the stream of subversive activity which now flows like poison out of Cuba...
...Sordi) who makes good in Milan, comes home to visit the old folks, and suddenly finds himself, his pretty young wife and his two darling daughters involved in the insidious toils of La Mafia, the feudality of terror that for several centuries has ruled Sicily with poniard, pistol and poison.

Only a few fish died, and no poison has been found in them.
