Thirtyfive hundred Cubans are still leaving on the airlift to Miami every month. and many more thousands remain on waiting lists. Many of these sorrowing people have come to the United States in search of peace. freedom. and a future for themselves and their children. Their feelings about Castro were well summed up by one arriving refugee who sadly stated. "Freedom under Castro is no freedom at all." More than a decade ago we watched with regret and sympathy for our Cuban neighbors as Castro began this forced march toward oppession. In January of 1960 I said that the Castro pattern was "old. simple. brutal. and effective. As conditions get worse in Cuba the speeches will become more abusive. the Americans will be blamed for everything. one violent act will follow another. and turmoil will not subside in Cuba." Events have tragically followed this story line.
