...SPAIN has the most satisfying pavilion of all: a well-wrought building where cool, shadowy interiors lead to bright, fountained courtyards, an art gallery where Goya and Velásquez hang cheek by jowl with Miró and Picasso. With a stageful of vibrant flamenco gypsies and a choice of fine restaurants touting "eels from the River Tagus" and "mushrooms from the caves of Segovia," Spain outclasses most other foreign and state pavilions, many of which offer nothing more remarkable than displays of consumer goods and models of jute mills...
...Havana, Castro angrily blamed the attack on Cuban exiles, "equipped, paid and directed by the CIA," in retaliation against Spain for trading with Cuba. The Spaniards were just as angry.

...State Department hastily assured Spain that there was no evidence that the attackers came from U.S. territory-though it was not certain where they did come from.

Nikita himself stood solemnly in the honor guard just before the body was cremated, and a band played the Internationale as the urn of ashes was placed briefly at the foot of the Kremlin wall, near the spot where a portion of I.W.W. Founder Big Bill Haywood's ashes are buried. In due course, Elizabeth Gurley Flynn's ashes will...
Died. Dr. Carlton Joseph Huntley Hayes, 82, longtime Columbia University history professor (1907-50), wartime ambassador to Spain (1942-45) and lifelong enemy of nationalism, who devoted the better part of 43 years of teaching and 27 books (Essays on Nationalism, Nationalism: A Religion) to warning of the dangers of the all-powerful modern state, writing on the eve of World War II that "nationality, the national state and national patriotism are the source of intolerance, militarism and war": in Afton...
