Screened by buildings, Mikoyan and the assembled dignitaries two blocks away heard the shots, and the bewildered audience began to scream. Soldiers aimed their guns at rooftops. Mikoyan slid indoors but reappeared in a few minutes, and the speeches began. Cuba's Commerce Minister warmed up the crowd with the marvelously fortuitous news that he had just received a cabled order from Moscow for 345,000 tons of sugar worth $21,500,000.

...Singer Frankie Avalon, 19, said his guardian needed approval to spend $12,373 from the kid's estate for assorted expenses. The inimitable Fabian, 16, needed $38,392. It costs a lot of wampum to be Fabian, his guardian explained. He can't go to school (girls scream and wail as he walks down the corridors), so he has to pay two private tutors $10 an hour. Moreover, the Fab is taking singing lessons that are worth like 60 years of analyst's fees...
