But criticism should not perturb bearded Bob St. John, whose faith in Tito is matched by faith in his own powers...
Being in a Cuban prison, sometimes articles about me do not reach my hands until a late date. But I definitely resent your stating that I am a "Belly-Wiggler" and a "HonkyTonk Dancer" [TIME, May 5]. ... Perhaps I haven't worked Carnegie Hall, but I have always taken my dancing seriously and have studied (very hard) the semi-classical dances...
