Help was coming. Proudly the Soviet news agency Tass announced that their maritime cargoes to Cuba this year would double those in 1961. Some ten Soviet ships are now converging on Cuban ports, said Tass, carrying consumer goods from canned food to cars, heavy machinery from harvesters to floating cranes, raw materials from timber to grain. Five more ships for the Cuba run were chartered from owners in four NATO countries -West Germany, Norway, Greece and Italy. Khrushchev's evident decision to support Castro to the limit has already raised Cuba to the position of Russia's third...
...Both spaceships were slightly roomier than those used by Yuri Gagarin and Gherman Titov, but the suspicions of U.S. scientists that Vostoks III and IV weighed approximately the same as the earlier models-some 11,000 lbs.-were confirmed.

At week's end a one-hour workers' strike to protest the police methods used to break up the Bastille demonstration stalled Parisian industry and business. City and suburban buses halted, the Paris subway and commuter train service was affected. Actress Brigitte Bardot, who had won respect last November by publicly defying an S.A.O. blackmail attempt, walked off a movie set along with film technicians...
