One article printed in groping English described a government that could ban the word "God" from the textbooks as "such ossy, ossy, phally, prehistoric boneheads...
Havana, Cuba, Dec. 19--The breach between the administration and its determined opponent--the ABC Revolutionary Society--had widened tonight, increasing tension in the capital.
