...window at the night sky. "You don't know what's coming to you." Said Anthony Balestreri, a Milwaukee artist: "There's been a kind of awakening. I hope to God it continues. I noticed it in church a couple of weeks ago, when the priest mentioned Cuba. What we need is more of it. Instead of announcing from the pulpit that the bowling league will meet at such and such a time, let's hear how the news may affect us personally." Ray Hollenbeck, regional sales manager of a drug firm in Kansas City, shook...

Raisins & Wine. Portugal has not been the same since. Salazar's hard-working if often inept secret police keep stumbling on plots and conspiracies. In 1959 they thwarted a coup with the unlikely name of "Operation Cocktail" and rounded up 31 suspects, including nine army officers, a Catholic priest and several professional men. Last year the police pounced on another conspiracy in the African colony of Angola, and 46 persons were tried for treason...
