...wanted peace doves released at each ceremony. But of all the proposals Izvestia received, none hit the mark so squarely as one from Odessa. After complaining about the "colorless and dreary routine" of the registry offices, V. Runanov suggested that every city have "a special building-the best in town" just for marriages and other happy events. Last week, as if to make V. Runanov's dream come true, the U.S.S.R. got its first "wedding palace...
...officer friends urged him to go with them to the hills and start a guerrilla campaign. Matos chose to wait. Tension grew; crowds milled about the city of Camagiiey. Captain Jose Manuel Hernandez, disillusioned by Castro and fearful for Matos, put a bullet through his own head. Flying into town, Castro jailed Matos as a "traitor," "ingrate," and an ally of two other prominent Cubans purged because of their anti-Communist pronouncements-ex-President Manuel Urrutia and ex-Air Force Chief Pedro Diaz Lanz.

...heal his life and save his soul: courage. "They have it. I have to save it." He disarms the lot of them, and sleepless, burning-eyed, with the energy of obsession drives them across the desert, drives them without horses, without food, without water toward a little Spanish town whose name means sanity. And as the cruel days go by, the heroes come to see that the coward is the greater hero, the more deeply courageous man. What they have is physical courage, not to be despised. But what he has is the highest kind of courage, the courage...
