Buckley, Athwart History, "I got my job through the New York Times," March, 1961, The American Legion Magazine.
Herbert Matthews did more than any other jouno, it seems, to put Castro in power.
A fan of Clement Attlee's Labour government, from the beginning he painted Castro and his little band of rebels as non-communist, even anti-communist heroes of democracy, liberty, and (ahem) social justice.
Not only of him but of those who bought in we must say, "None so blind as they who will not see."
Makes you think again about Allende, eh?
