Libby Haygood took top in
dividual honors and the North
ern Virginia Aquatic Club
dominated the team competi-
ton in the District AAU Jun
ior Olympic swimming meet
last night at the Takoma Park
pool.
Miss Haygood, a 12-year-old
from Congressional, set two
District AAU records, winning
the 200-yard individual med
ley in 1856 and the 50-yard
free style in 28.1.
Coach Stan Tinkham's North
ern Virginia club won team
trophies in both the girls and
boys events last night. North
ern Virginia and Kenwood are
expected to battle it out for top
honors for the relay champion
ship tonight, also at Takoma
Park.
Also on the program tonight
is a rerun of the 200-yard
breaststroke, which was ruled
out last night by Referee Kip
Edwards as the result of a mis-
fired officials gun.
Dale Bernhard of Congress
sional, former National cham
pion, stopped, thinking she had
won the race when a gun was
fired to start the final leg.

terms that the complexities

The Castro Role
For instance, despite many
admirable studies on the
ambiguous part Fidel Castro
holds within the Communist
movement, the authors omit
any discussion Of the inde-
pendent role we know Castro
played during the crisis. The
authors do not even discuss
the possibility that Castro
asked for the missiles and
that he objected to their
withdrawal.
The authors do not discuss
the after effects of the mis-
sile withdrawal on both the
Western alliance and the
Communist world how it
aggravated relations between
Washington and Paris and
between Moscow and Peking.
And the authors do not dis
cuss the critical question Of
how the crisis affected So
viet-American relations.
On such intriguing his
torical questions as what was
said in the Khrushchev-
Kennedy letters and what
happened in Washington
before and during the crisis
period. the authors, like the
rest Of us, must await the
