   I'm sorry, Marc. I only heard that one report on WBAI as I was
   driving to work. It was on the program titled "Cuba in Focus",
   hosted by Sally O'Brien. You can contact her at:
      WBAI-FM Radio (99.5)
      505 Eighth Ave., 19th Fl.
      New York, NY 10018       (212) 279-0707
  
   You should also contact the following WBAI staff members who 
   are quite knowledgeable about matters involving Cuba and the 
   Caribbean, in general: 
      Rosemari Mealy
      Samori Marksman
      Zenzile Khoisan

   I might add that the charge of CIA raids onto Cuban soil 
   was made by Cuba's U.N. Ambassador Hidalgo. You could   
   call his office at the U.N. in New York City.

   You say that CIA raids on Cuban soil would not be likely to 
   escape notice by the Press. I haven't researched it, but I                      think that, back in the late `50s and early `60s, there were 
   no Press reports of Operation Mongoose, nor of Alpha 66's
   attempted mining of Soviet ships in Havana Harbor.
   Again, I'm no expert on CIA black operations against Cuba,
   but I understand that there have been many CIA raids upon 
   Cuba over the years.

   If someone can provide the address and/or phone number
   of THE GUARDIAN, you can contact Jack Colhoun.

   I have cross-posted this follow-up to numerous newsgroups with 
   the hope that others having related information will come forth.
   If anyone has information on Maverick Aviation, that would be a key.

          John DiNardo
