...wanted to trap them again on July 1-and to a degree we succeeded." Whose Right? Nikita was obviously intent on belaboring the West. But he acted like a man who wished he had a better club. When someone asked him about Cuba, he seized on the question with obvious relief. "The U.S. President said the U.S. would not let" Communism take over the country, he roared. "Will not let?

Heat, both wet and dry. sent scores of patients to hospitals and some to their graves. The heat was a burning question for laymen and military surgeons.
