...years ago, Russia welcomed Cuba's subversive efforts. No longer. Well aware that Castro's guerrilla wars are getting nowhere, that they are doing more harm than good to Communism's image, Moscow is now trying to achieve a foothold in Latin America through diplomacy and trade expansion (TIME, March 31). Such tactics, Castro claims, only help the "oligarchies" that he is trying to overthrow. To make sure that Moscow gets the point, Castro is planning a Latin America-wide meeting in Havana next month to discuss future strategies for his guerrilla wars of liberation...
...public relations man is more than a pressagent-though not even the best is ever wholly free of flackery-and considerably less than Big Brother. His calling contains more than its share of what the Nation long ago called "higher hokum." But it is also a legitimate and essential trade, necessitated by the complexity of modern life and the workings of an open society. It is growing today, says Harvard Government Professor Seymour Martin Lipset, because "there is ever more direct communication between power and people...
...wing of the younger generation. The boys have the jug-eared look of Nebraska citybillies, or malt-shop cowboys. Even when they are mildly suggestive, they seem as harmless as two choirboys sneaking a smoke behind the organ.

...there is even a group of painters in their 30s and 40s who throw together unsocialist images just because they feel like it. The Western world sees precious little of their work, for the Moscow Union of Soviet Artists is dominated by middle-aged academicians who learned their trade in the heyday of Stalinist realism. Their ponderous paeans to Lenin and heroic bobbin tenders go into official displays such as the Venice Biennale and Expo 67. Only an occasional private exhibition affords Westerners a glimpse behind the red-tape curtain. One such view is offered by the new display...
...that were not enough, the company expects the just-negotiated Kennedy Round tariff cuts to squeeze its earnings further. Many U.S. chemicals have long been protected by unusually high import duties, and in order to win European agreement for freer trade in such fields as farm produce, tobacco and aluminum, U.S. negotiators agreed to hefty reductions in chemical levies. With those blows, plus a 30% loss in earnings after the Government forced the company to disgorge its 63 million-share holding of General Motors, the price of Du Pont stock has fallen almost 50% from its 1964 high...
