...hefty appropriation for the federal school-lunch program. But the chief attention getters are the proliferating newspaper advertisements on such issues as nuclear disarmament, civil rights and Viet Nam.

Not even counting the dozens of political commissars tag ging along as "masseurs" and "trainers," the Cuban delegation was the largest on hand by far. The athletes turned out to be a handsome, swinging group-the men in white suits and straw hats, the girls in shifts of red, white and blue (Cuba's national colors) and white go-go boots...
