...that they were ready "to be led before firing squads" rather than comply with Castro's confiscatory land reform (TIME, June 1). ¶ Waited the results of a "public-opinion poll" that will purport to show what the U.S. thinks of Castro. The poll is the first project of Bernard Relin & Associates Inc., a U.S. public-relations agency hired by Cuba in April for $72,000 a year. ¶ Learned that ex-Dictator Fulgencio Batista held $45,879,245 worth of stock in Cuban and foreign industries, about $12 million of it in U.S. companies...
