. . . sweet land of liberty, the United States, took precious note of the musical phrase in the fall of 1960 as international incidents soured a scared and troubled world. Russia’s pompous Premier Khrushchev played havoc with a United Nations assembly in New York and was joined by Cuba’s tatterdemalion, Fidel Castro, in a dissonant duet that grated the ears of all countries seeking peaceful coexistence. Africa’s Congo spliced in a contrapuntal movement of violence as rights and mights met in an ethical tangle. Even the weather blasted off-key in a series of crescendoes landing on the Eastern seaboard. World peace did not appear to be in the score. Up above things were getting complex too! The stars blinked twice as Russia’s dog-piloted space ship barked by and as America’s balloon-satelloon whizzed visibly around the cosmos causing many a stiff neck in earth folk craning for a look-see.

Congo delegates. Kanza and Mandi. Hurricane in Florida.
