...surprising that only now, so long after he left Cuba, has Guillermo Cabrera Infante published Vista del Amanecer in el Tropico, [View of Dawn in the Tropics], his denunciation of the Cuban Revolution. Surprising, because it has taken so long for an eloquent literary statement to arrive from the Cuban opposition, and because he writes as bitterly as though he had left the island yesterday. Cabrera Infante did not oppose the Cuban government with such vehemence when he emigrated in the early Sixties. Like many of the exiles, he supported Castro at the beginning; for three years...

The M.P.L.A. claimed to have seized a string of towns in northern Angola, including Caracassala, Cangala, Samba and Vista Alegre.

The doctor diagnosed his problem as arthritis, ignored a suggestion by a consulting radiologist that "a tumor must also be considered," and gave him 41 costly shots of a steroid drug over a three-month period. As the pain in his shoulder intensified, Tweed consulted an orthopedic surgeon, who X-rayed him and misdiagnosed the problem. Eight months later, an associate of the orthopedic surgeon happened to see Tweed's X rays and identified the illness...
