Last week all three, along with 18 other Americans held by Castro for various reasons, were back in the U.S. In a swap negotiated by New York Lawyer (and unsuccessful 1962 Democratic nominee for the Senate) James B.

Solid v Liquid. Months before Khrushchev suggested his Cuba-for-Turkey swap, the Joint Chiefs had begun considering the phase-out of bases in Turkey, Italy, and in England as well. The dismantling of the 60 Thor missiles in Britain is to begin this spring. More than compensating for their loss are eight Polaris subs operating out of Holy Loch, Scotland, each toting 16 missiles. To replace the 15 Jupiters in Turkey and the 30 in Italy, the U.S. plans to deploy possibly six subs in Mediterranean waters. Total firepower: 96 missiles, each with a nuclear-tipped warhead packing...
