Normally, a race for the Senate would be regarded with no more emotion than the news of another oil strike, but the vote-grabbing was more intense because Texas stands a chance in the April 2 election of sending a Republican to the Senate.

CUBA Rebel Report Deep in a dripping mountaintop forest, two men huddled on the ground at sunup one day last week, talking in guarded whispers. One of the men was Fidel Castro, 30, the strapping, bearded leader of the never-say-die band of anti-Batista rebels who strike and run from hideouts in eastern Cuba's Sierra Maestra range (TIME, Feb. 25 et ante).

For Wafra, it pushed output above 50,000 bbl. a day and increased estimated reserves to more than 5 billion bbl. For a tall, stoop-shouldered American named Jean Paul Getty, it was a multimillion-dollar payoff on a daring gamble...
