...with the stinging humiliation of the Pueblo incident. They succeeded in demonstrating that, despite nearly three years of steady allied progress in the war, Communist commandos can still strike at will virtually anywhere in the country. Though the smoke must clear before any realistic assessment can be made, the slow process of pacification has probably suffered a major setback on two fronts. The promise of security in a hamlet may not seem so credible to a peasant who has learned that even Saigon and the U.S. embassy are not enemy-proof. And, amid the furor in the cities...
...been arrested and would face trial for "intrigues" and "conspiratorial actions." That alone was not too surprising under Castro's oppressive regime, but Granma followed it up a day later with a real stunner: the plotters were in league with the Russians. Thus, as he might savor a slow-burning, pungent Havana cigar, Castro revealed to the world the scope of Cuba's steadily worsening relations with Moscow...

The maneuvers, however, were less sensual than static-and, accompanied as they were by a chilling, unromantic score, seemed as moving as a set of judo diagrams...

It took three months to move the rig from river port to drill site-a mere 20-minute hop by air. Since that early experience, virtually everything has been airlifted. To date, helicopters have transported about 80,000 tons of cargo and 131,000 passengers to and from the Orito field. But even with air support, it takes four days and 300 helicopter trips to shift the specially designed drilling rig from one site to another, five miles...
