Symptoms & Assassins. In the city of Algiers, the symptoms that brought open revolt against De Gaulle last January are again glaringly evident. Student followers of the imprisoned Pierre Lagaillarde, right-wing leader of the January insurrection, have again begun collecting small arms and are spoiling for a fight. A blacklist of known Gaullists, left-wingers and liberals is being circulated in ultra-rightist circles, and terrorists openly boast that "this time we will stage summary executions ourselves." In the garrison town of Castiglione, 25 miles from Algiers, a hundred junior officers met in secret to discuss how they could best...
...manifesto challenged the government by demanding, "When the army is in a state of open and latent revolt against democratic institutions, does not revolt against the army assume a new meaning?"

...Cuba question, Nixon called Kennedy's assertion that the U.S. ought to encourage an anti-Castro revolt "probably the most dangerously irresponsible [statement] that he's made in the course of this campaign," and one that might lose the U.S. its friends in the U.N. and Latin America, perhaps lead to civil war and an "open invitation to Mr. Khrushchev."

Outraged by his fantasy, critics inveighed against Prendergast's paintings as "whirling arabesques that tax the eye." "unadulterated slop," and "the product of much cider drunk at Saint-Malo." If Prendergast felt the sting, he left no record of it. His brush became still looser, his rhythms more intricate, his outlines so subtle...
Since there is little chance that the United States can trigger an internal revolt against Castro without meeting the oppositionof Latin America, it would be well for Kennedy and Nixon to admit that little can be done with Cuba while the American people are incapable of accepting any compromise. Castro may yet learn that he cannot impose unlimited drafts on the endurance and loyalty of the Cuban people, and any Cuban regime which hopes to carry out his ambitious social programs will need aid. But there will be no hope for at least a neutralist Cuba, accepting aid from both...
