What happened to Cleo next was obscured by Cuba, where, for political reasons, U.S. weather-tracking planes may not prowl. Moreover, the peaks of Cuba's Sierra Maestra mountains blocked the view for the big new radar in Miami used to track hurricanes up to 300 miles away. Cuba's mountains did something else. They broke up Cleo's eye, forced the hurricane to regroup. When it did, it changed direction to a more northerly course, was thus only 200 miles from the Florida coast when the hurricane trackers spotted Cleo again. Flying into the storm...

...many other lovers. Neighbors remember that this gnawing suspicion later brought Angel to file, then cancel, a divorce suit. In the midst of such braying accusations and inconstancy, Fidel soon grew indifferent to the family-all except his worshipful brother Raul. Nevertheless, when Fidel and Raul went into the Sierra Maestra, most of the family rallied to their cause, sending food and supplies, raising money, going up in the hills to help organize his guerrilla camps.

Stones Under the Sea. Producers have lately begun to increase their output, but only slightly. Black Africa is making its first major effort to expand its mining and marketing; mines in Sierra Leone and Liberia have increased production. For the first time in 56 years, De Beers has reopened its big Old De Beers mine, using modern equipment to extract stones that once were thought uneconomic to mine. It has also helped to bankroll a Texan named Sammy Collins (TIME, Nov. 9, 1962), who is digging diamonds from under the sea off the coast of southwest Africa. But no dealer...
