...Señor. Unless Havana's myriad censors slip up, these three men send out nothing that Castro does not approve of. Their dispatches are limited almost entirely to government communiqués and the anti-American salvos fired in perfect unison by Castro's captive Havana press. Although Castro keeps up the fiction that there is no press censorship, the Western newsmen know otherwise. Cables are often held up for days or forever; the Western Union office, staffed by Cubans, will not even acknowledge that a message has been sent, much less received. "Some times," says Harker...
...took office last May for a one-year term, is turning out to be more outspoken-and articulate-than most.

Shenkers trip from Moscow to East Berlin was no ad for either German or Communist efficiency-the Communist airline officials lost his typewriter; the East...
...Kennedy's sentimental journey in Ireland lasted at least 24 hours too long. By the time he left, the whole business had begun to get a little boring. At week's end, as he flew over the Irish Sea on his way to England, even Seán Ó Cinnéide may have looked forward to a change of pace. There he began quiet talks with Prime Minister Harold Macmillan, who would surely welcome a chance to get his mind on something other than his own government's troubles...
