...reported a sudden surge of 10,000 letters (and presumed donations) after an emotional appeal by TV's Jack Paar, who was a onetime ardent admirer of Castro's. Fund-raising drives were under way in eleven Latin American countries, and the New York Times's Tad Szulc reported an "ever-so-rare spectacle of Latin American public opinion being aroused against Premier Fidel Castro and in favor of the United States...
