Fidel C astro had lust returned ftom

I did And I couldn't help wondenng
EXACTLY WHAT Ite was doing in

hecii manipulated into 01 c form or
.inutile of drug ENSLAVEMENT,
apparcntlv for the purpose of
DESTROYING our sock y.
According to the book, back in the
sixties Castro was so ex. ited about
using drugs to attack the United Stales
that his communist comrades in
Mocco* and elsewhere I ad to hold
mm buck for fear that t e scheme
would be exposed. It weald appear
that C.istro has been a ktv figure in
pronnoi ing the drug trade in Cokmbia
and IV u. as well as in Nic tragua and
likel. hi Panama and El Salvador.
My college room mate in 194S-49
was a girl named Maria, from Havana.
I got tlK idea from her tf.at life was
difficult in Cuba becai.se of the
dictatorship there So. 1 was really
excitec when 1 heard that datiste had '
been removed by a groupo' "agrarian ?
reformers" led by Fidel C utro After ?
that, tliere were some reforms, like
more people being taught t tread. But, ?'
in most ways, life under C >mmunism '
necame a whole lot worse t on before.
i guess it's high time yi u and I got

Dear Editor
A man asked me the other dav
ifCM Wiz was going to wear feathers
I told him thai if the Lord had meant
for us to wear feathers, buffalo skins,
or live in teepees, he would have
placed us out there in the West with
those other Indians instead of heir on
these river banks 01 Wiz am i never
seen am butfalos roaming these river
banks. Miss Connee. and eagles don t
soar in the skies over his house I

popularity contest. Miss Connee Its
serious business All 01 Wiz hopes
for is that we git us a leader that knows
what needs to be done, and has the
wits about him to git the job done It
