He has just spent a most unrelaxing weekend at Glen Ora, the family’s rented country retreat in Virginia.Kennedy is preoccupied with Cuba. A battlefield is taking shape there. Kennedy has authorized a secret invasion of the island nation, sending 1,400 anti-Castro exiles to do a job that the U.S. military, by rule of internation...al law, cannot do itself.
