At least I know our philosophy has been widely distributed. It is a peaceful strategy, a long-range one. Arcos and his wife, Teresita de la Paz, live in the Vedado section of Havana. They and seven other families make their home in what used to be a mansion, but could in no way be described that way any more. The house has little furniture and the walls almost no paint.
Picture frames hang on the walls, but no pictures.
The front windows are broken in two places, signs of the March 8 demonstration against Arcos. We spoke downstairs in a room almost bare. A florescent light dangled from a red cord. The Arcoses, with apparently little that's worth any money, seem to have a great storehouse of dignity and decency, courage and conscience. The bedroom walls contain a rosary, a crucifix, pictures of Jesus and Pope Pius XII and five faded Modigliani prints.
