...most ravaging storm in U.S. history started as a tiny blip on radar screens, a knot of tropical air masses forming near the island of Cozumel in the Gulf of Mexico, a few miles east of the Yucatan peninsula. Quickly, awesomely, it built into the first hurricane of the year, christened Agnes, a turbulent mass 250 miles in diameter drawing unusually heavy amounts of moisture from the sea below...
...information is entirely inaccurate and misleading. My wife left Acapulco before the arrival of President and Mrs. Johnson; she has been in Yucatan, making a film. I myself have not been in Acapulco since Christmas. We respect President and Mrs. Johnson and we cherish their friendship; however, this time we did not have an opportunity to contact them...

Some, like Carmichael, flew to Prague or Moscow and then to Havana. Others worked their way to the Yucatan, and were whisked by special undercover "fishing fleets" across the 125-mile Yucatan Channel to Cuba. A Venezuelan guerrilla leader named Amerigo Martin even went so far as to travel to Colombia and sign aboard a boat bound for Spain, where he evidently planned to fly to Eastern Europe...
