...Bahamian sun slides into the aquamarine sea as the last passengers of the cruise ship Nordic Empress return from a hard day of sunbathing, shell hunting and rum drinking on Coco Cay's white sand beach. "Bring me another Bahama Mama," yells Danny Rivero, 23, from amid 102 degrees hot-tub bubbles high up on the ship's sun deck. Fellow passenger Renato Deoliveira, 19, obediently passes along a lethal concoction of 151-proof Myers's rum, apricot brandy, coconut rum and fruit punch, while Ted and Kay LaTour, a Milwaukee couple in their 60s, laugh indulgently and sink lower...
...very difficult to obtain a Bible. Once a group of Jamaican churchmen shipped some Bibles to Cuba. These were loaded onto a truck in the port of Havana and taken to a paper factory where they were recycled and used for government publications. Once José Maria Rivero Diaz, a Protestant minister, was surprised by a guard while reading a small Bible which had been smuggled into prison. He was savagely beaten up in his cell by the prison director and other high-ranking officials. After they had left, José Maria's back was just one vast, bloody...
...oceans has been growing with remarkable rapidity for several years now (TIME cover, Feb. 23, 1968). "Nothing stops them," admits Admiral Thomas H. Moorer, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

...have been played by the Pentagon, both the intelligence and the military proper, that it was not exclusively a CIA operation. And I have a very strong suspicion that the naval arm of the Pentagon, with headquarters more or less in Naples, played a very important role. Admiral Horatio Rivero was the American Admiral in charge of the southeast wing of NATO. He must have played an important role. The other fact which is of some interest-but this fact I don't know directly except through junta sources-a defector from the junta told us this-that Cyrus Vance...
...force, lacking big aircraft carriers, would be no match for the Sixth Fleet, with its 50 combat ships, including two carriers and two cruisers, 200 aircraft and 25,000 men. The Russian squadron in the Mediterranean is, in fact, smaller than the Italian navy. But as U.S. Admiral Horacio Rivero, commander of NATO forces in Southern Europe, notes: "While the Soviet flotilla is a potential military threat, its greatest importance is political and psychological. The number of ships is not too important. The presence of one ship has a political impact...
