...choice. Early in June, raiders from the rebel army of Fidel Castro burned the barracks of Cuban guards at the pumping station, jeopardized the water without which most of the 6,000 U.S. citizens on the base would have to move out in 24 hours. Base Commander Rear Admiral Robert Ellis conferred with U.S. Ambassador Earl E.T. Smith, who later talked with Cuban Minister of State Gonzalo Güell.

Last week, as the Provisional President held his first regular weekly press conference at Caracas' White Palace, his reasoning seemed to come a little clearer. Seven times during the 45-minute session the crisply khakied admiral was asked if he would be candidate for President when regular elections are held next November. Seven times he hemmed, hawed and refused to push his khaki cap out of the campaign ring...
