...base at Guantanamo Bay, Goldwater flailed out at the Johnson Administration: "This is another result of an indecisive foreign policy. Whenever a weaker country thinks it can thumb its nose at a stronger country and get away with it, it is going to do this." Barry called the water cutoff an "atrocity," and offered his own curbstone prescription: "Tell Castro to walk back and turn the water on or we are going to march out with a detachment of marines and turn...
