Arrogant Tirade. As if all this were not enough, Castro picked last week to launch an arrogant tirade against the U.S. In a defiant letter to Acting U.N.

Leacock's invention permits the photographer to shoot synch-sound with an easily portable system. It allowed Drasin to move into the heart of the riot and capture devastating close-ups and unguarded remarks at the height of the furor. His talent for composition, his sense of humor and his feeling for spontaneous drama all belie his youth and comparative inexperience. Unfortunately, Sunday will play for only two more days, and I have only enough space to recommend it highly and urge you to force the Brattle into extending Sunday's run by the onslaught of your numbers...
