Castro made it clear that no rule of law was involved; his bloody vengeance was fully justified. The trouble was the way "enemies" used it to "slander" Cuba. "Never has such an intense and violent campaign of discredit against Cuba been waged throughout the Americas. We must deprive the enemy of his principal weapon of attack." When would "the proceedings" end? Not, apparently, last week. Before Castro's firing squads went another 28 Batista men, bringing the grand total to 451. Among the new dead: the first judge, Arístides Pérez Andreu, president of Batista...
...mystery of the island was merely the most spectacular recent example of something that occurs almost daily throughout Mexico. By law, not a single item of pre-Columbian culture may be unearthed without permission; no pre-Columbian object of any value may be taken out of the country.

Now converted into a movie of epic length (two hours and 50 minutes -39 minutes longer than the play) by Producer-Director George Stevens, Diary takes on new and subtly expanded dimensions. Tighter than the book, more fluid than the play, the film is a masterpiece...
...Development Commission, Government of Ghana, "are interested in almost the same things," especially the developments of "young countries." Lady Jackson's work, which springs from "inner conviction," is more theoretical than her husband's; he is more interested in administrative problems, having had extensive experience in different countries throughout Asia and Africa...
