...Soviet euphemism for disagreement. Toward the end of the meetings, however, the two men apparently worked out some of their major differences. The day Kosygin left Havana, airport roads were lined with Russian and Cuban flags, an honor guard boomed out a 21-gun salute, and Castro gave his visitor a parting abrazo...
...checkers and pinochle. From handball courts comes the hollow thunk of ball against board. The country-club atmosphere is deceptive-and was planned that way as part of a wall-to-wall overhaul that in two years has transformed the Missouri State Penitentiary at Jefferson City from what a visitor once termed a "loathsome stone purgatory" into one of the nation's model prisons...

Anderson was a steady visitor to Spain, even won an audience with Franco. Then, last November, Continental Oil pulled out of the Anderson consortium, and all its hopes were wrecked. A new group, including Gulf Oil, W.R. Grace, Texaco, and Standard Oil of Calif., entered the race with a combined bid. I.M.C. was left to fight it out with the quartet...
