...electric utility business, which measures its costs in mills and its profits in millions, the American Electric Power Co. has become the biggest producer of all by serving small-town America. Stretching from southwestern Michigan through the rich Ohio Valley to depressed Appalachia, it serves nearly 2,400 towns, only four of which have a population as high as 100,000.

Corsair & Caesar. Anti-Castro radio stations came on the air, and some of the broadcasts may have indeed come from inside Cuba. But most of them probably originated no farther distant than "Little Havana" in southwestern Miami. Using code names such as "Tiger," "Corsair," and "Alpha Five," they beamed a 24-hour torrent of chatter, reading off metronome-like numbers in Spanish and repeating cryptic messages: "Caesar is approaching the Colosseum," "The little tree is in the middle of the pasture."
