Cuba has been careful to aim only at those targets where it can win friends with a minimum investment. In Grenada, for example, notes one businessman, "the Cubans made an excellent choice of aid when they gave the island its first fishing trawler"-a 65-ft. vessel that will greatly augment the tiny catch made by the country's fleet of small, open fishing boats. In an interview with TIME, Grenada's Socialist Prime Minister Maurice Bishop claimed that "one of the reasons Cubans are in Grenada is because the Americans aren't." He said it took...
...sleek white vessel nosed into Tokyo harbor last week, the Japanese markings were clearly visible on the superstructure. The crew of the 13,000-ton vessel was Japanese too, from the ship's captain to the deckhands. But emblazoned on the hull in red, white and blue letters was a most un-Japanese name: Boutique America. Below deck the contrast was even greater.

Joining him were his daughter, Lady Patricia Braourne, 55, her husband Lord Brabourne, 54, their twin sons Timothy and Nicholas, 14, and Lord Brabourne...
...agreeably loose, however; Secret Service agents, clad in jeans and T shirts, lounged in deck chairs and smiled amiably at the few nervous passengers who strolled hesitantly past the President's rear cabin. Carter roamed on board freely, but generally alone, though he and Rosalynn viewed the vessel's mild entertainments-a card-sharping exhibition and the movie Showboat-and shared drinks in the lounge one night with a group of Catholic retirees. Lois Paskett, a widow from St. Paul, bubbled, "I have a hard time getting to sleep just thinking I am on the same boat with...
