...story on Trudeau and his Doonesbury crew, written by Donald Morrison and edited by Stefan Kanfer, is by no means an attempt to get even. But the Doonesbury assignment was especially intriguing for Sandra Burton, who along with Reporter-Researcher Patricia Beckert did most of the interviewing for the story. Burton spoke to Trudeau, then talked at length with many of his friends from Yale, some of whom are models for Doonesbury characters. Because of Trudeau's oft-stated aversion to interviews, however, Burton was never able to get him to identify the real-life model, if there...
...revolutionary past by wearing olive-green fatigues and a pistol at his side. The other is a polished, quick-witted intellectual, an urbane man of the book rather than the gun. They would seem to have little in common, yet by the time Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau ended a three-day visit to Fidel Castro's Cuba last week, an obvious rapport had developed between the two leaders. As TIME's Ottawa bureau chief William Mader, who accompanied Trudeau, reported, the airport farewell ceremonies turned into a kind of emotional family affair as Castro embraced Trudeau...

Chickens and Locomotives. Trudeau's visit-part of a Latin American tour that also included Mexico and Venezuela-was designed to advance ties between Cuba and Canada (Canadian trade last year: exports to Cuba, $156.1 million; imports, $59.8 million). Castro thanked his guest for the fact that Canada, over the years, had helped Cuba with everything "from chickens to cattle to trucks and locomotives." Addressing the crowd in almost flawless Spanish, Trudeau praised Cuban-Canadian relations as proof that countries with "very different and even opposite systems . . . are learning to speak together and work together toward the solution...
...Trudeau's stay in Cuba was busy and carefully organized. More than 100,000 people, cheering, "Viva Cuba-Canada!" lined his eight-mile route from José Martí Airport to downtown Havana. With Castro as a helpful guide, Trudeau visited a housing project, a cattle-breeding farm, schools and factories; his host even took the Prime Minister, a devotee of water sports, on a snorkeling expedition near the Bay of Pigs. There was also time for six hours of congenial discussion on such issues as the expansion of trade...
