Baseball is Fidel Castro's thing-along with guitar music and rhetoric. But the Cuban Premier seems willing to try just about anything. Homeward bound from the Soviet Union's 50th-anniversary celebrations in Moscow, Castro's plane stopped for refueling in Newfoundland, so Fidel set out to see the sights of Gander. He tossed a few snowballs, helped a pair of pretty nurses dig their car out of a snowbank, finally decided to try a little tobogganing. Unfortunately the toboggan tipped, sending el máximo lider sprawling into the snow. Everyone guffawed. Even Fidel...
Hanoi may also get the message that it can expect minimal help from Moscow and Peking. Both Russia and China expressed routine outrage over the renewed bombing, but, as in May, their reaction was far short of apocalyptic. In a speech observing the 50th anniversary of the Soviet Union, Soviet Party Boss Leonid Brezhnev declared that better relations with the U.S. depend on a prompt settlement of the Viet Nam War. Criticism, in fact, was harsher in West European countries. In Paris, Le Monde compared the bombing to the Nazi destruction of Guernica in the Spanish Civil War. Britain...
Seldom since the blusterous days of Nikita Khrushchev had there been such an epithetic attack on China by a Soviet leader. Launching the Soviet Union's 50th anniversary celebrations in Moscow last week, normally restrained Party Boss Leonid Brezhnev lashed out at Peking for "malicious slander of the Soviet political system and foreign policy," for "absurd claims to Soviet territory," for "sabotage of efforts for disarmament," for "continuous attempts to split the socialist camp," for trying to "foment discord" among "national liberation" movements, and for attempts "to range the developing countries against the Soviet Union...
Today, with the advent of new professional requirements and certification, midwifery is on the increase in this country. According to figures released last week at the 50th anniversary meeting of the International Confederation of Midwives in Washington, D.C., the number of certified midwives in the U.S. has climbed to 1,200; a decade ago, it was only 400. Demand for their services is increasing faster than supply, and at least a dozen hospitals and medical centers, including the Yale University School of Nursing and the Johns Hopkins School of Hygiene and Public Health, offer midwife-training programs for graduate nurses...
...congratulate TIME, and also myself, on the 50th anniversary of the publication of TIME. I am fortunate to have discovered TIME even before its birth. My brother Joe (also Yale '20) sent me mimeographed copies of test issues which I read with pleasure. I have read every single issue from cover to cover, some more than once. I have also read every letter published-even when they were supplementary. I wonder how many of us original subscribers are still here...
