Last week Castro also: -¶ Heard 700 tobacco farmers vow 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...
...promotion from colony status brought a revolution of expectations. With plenty of mangoes, breadfruit and papayas, the islanders could not starve.

Mo., put himself through the University of Michigan by scullery work. He climbed steadily in the St. Louis public-school system, first as teacher and athletic coach, later as principal. To his white colleagues, it was no surprise. "Sam Shepard is willing to work three times harder than anyone else," one of them says. "He stays with a problem like a dog on a bone, until he gets the job done...
...Xamed by a National Aeronautics and Space Administration public-relations man who served in the Army 16 years ago. forgot that the first two letters of the military spoken alphabet have been changed to -'Alpha" and "Bravo." The impersonal names were chosen to ameliorate the wrath of professional animal lovers, but Monkey Baker, a furry, cuddlesome item, also picked up the unofficial laboratory nickname of TLC (for Tender Loving Care). Monkey Able was born in Kansas, a fact that NASA hopes will still a few cries in India, where her relatives are hardly less sacred than cows...
