Its object, said Alabama Democrat Armistead Selden, the resolution's sponsor and the chairman of the House Subcommittee on Inter-American Affairs, was "to make it clear to Communists that they cannot count on the principle of nonintervention to shield their takeover of a hemisphere country."

Gleason was highballing to Miami Beach to begin taping his fall television series. CBS donated $18,000, plus $1,500 in tipping change, to sponsor the rolling bedlam called the Great Gleason Express. Amid the blares of the stuck diesel horns ("BAAAAH!") and a familiar howl ("HOW SU-WEET IT is!"), the dancers, cronies, reporters and flacks attacked 500 Ibs. of assorted meats, 30 cans of mock turtle soup, 2,614 one-shot whisky bottles...
