A Dictator Departs
GENERAL Fulgencio Batista, the long-established dictator of Cuba, has finally been given the push. Although his country has been in a state of suppressed civil war for two years, he has always insisted that, except for a tiresome band of maquisards in the eastern extremity of the island, everything was under control. Now that the revolutionaries under Señor Fidel Castro have begun to look like turning their tenacity into victory and have advanced from the swamps of Sierra Niastra to Santa Clara in central Cuba, the regular army has stepped in to end the war in its own way.
