Action at Last. D'Allessandri's little black book showed that in eight months of 1953, Terbita shipped thousands of tons of such strategic commodities as vanadium, cobalt, nickel, copper and molybdenum (listed as Portuguese cork) to Soviet-bloc countries.

In a rakish astrakhan hat and heavy overcoat, Communist Rivera politely gave terse answers to newsmen's questions. Was he completely cured? "Completely. I am a different man. The cobalt saved me." What's going on inside Russia? "The doctors are curing cancer." Will there be a major war soon? Muttered Rivera cryptically: "That is what many want." And then he was gone...
