...disillusioned still fled. Among them: Rufo López Fresquet, Castro's first Finance Minister; Julio Duarte Ruiz, president of the General Accounts Tribunal; Enrique Menocal, secretary of the Sugar Institute; seven Cuban seamen who jumped ship in the Panama Canal Zone; five Dominican exiles who tried to row their way to freedom in Florida...
