...aeronautical piracies could wind Castro up in a disastrous (for him) shooting war with the U.S. Aware of this, Cuban officials, though they arrested Cadon, made no effort to keep the DC-8 when it landed in Havana. They offered the passengers daiquiris, sandwiches, and music by a strolling trio before they flew back to Miami. Moreover, Castro offered to trade an Eastern Air Lines Electra, skyjacked earlier (TIME. Aug. 4), for a Cuban patrol boat sailed to the U.S. by Cuban defectors. At week's end the U.S. agreed...

Their mother died when they were young; they were raised in orphanages and foster homes and on the carnival circuit, doing ten-a-day acts with their father. When they formed their own singing group, it was called the Kaiihue Trio, became the Mary Kaye Trio when they decided to give up their original concentration on Hawaiian songs...
