Trying to do something about Castro inevitably brings up soul-searching debate about nonintervention. But the bearded Castro himself obviously has no qualms about getting in other people's hair. Last week three Latin American nations found themselves coping with Castroite attempts to subvert their people and overthrow their elected governments...
...salute. (Sukarno never forgave Dwight Eisenhower for once keeping him waiting ten minutes for an appointment.) The two Presidents conferred for four hours, then issued a communiqué calling for a neutral Laos and declaring that newly independent nations "must be alert to any attempts to subvert their cherished freedom by means of imperialism in all its manifestations."

At the same time, the court ordered four timorous New Orleans banks to honor checks that the school board had written against its own account, further demanded that the city of New Orleans release to the board $800,000 in withheld funds...
