...known no beginning or end. Cuba has contributed a number of inventions to warfare and repression. The Spaniards bred slavehunting dogs, "Cuban hounds," that were exported to the United States. Spanish generals invented the system of concentrating a rural population in garrisons and declaring anyone outside them a rebel--a tactic that the United States would employ in Vietnam as its "strategic hamlets" policy. Cuban revolutionaries refined the technique of urban terrorism as far back as the Twenties...
...manhood; after being stabbed; in an alleyway outside his West Hollywood apartment, where he died gasping, unable to identify his assailant. The son of a Bronx coffin maker, Mineo started his career on Broadway at age eleven in The Rose Tattoo. In 1956 he won an Oscar nomination for Rebel Without a Cause, and an Emmy nomination for Dino. A second Oscar nomination came for his 1960 performance as the psychotic youth in Exodus. At the time of his death, Mineo was rehearsing for the play P.S. Your Cat Is Dead; it was to open this week. At week...
...bread. He was hungry. Isn't that enough? Do we have to make him say he is a dirty bourgeois because he was hungry?" The warder responds with an incontrovertible object lesson.

But Algeria's 3-to-1 advantage in air power could prove decisive in the Sahara's frigid, windswept wadies and salt flats, whose sparse vegetation creates ideal strafing ground...
...Christmas season seems no time for churchly bloodletting. Rock-ribbed conservative President Jacob A.O. Preus, 55, of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod has decided against ousting one of the district presidents (rough equivalent of a bishop) who insist on recognizing the ordinations of graduates of the rebel liberal school known as "Seminex." Last July the church's convention authorized Preus to dump dissident district presidents 60 days before they were up for reelection. Herman Neunaber of the Southern Illinois District was the first to reach such a deadline. But last week Preus chose "counseling and brotherly admonition" for Neunaber...
