We were supporting Castro, we thought of him as a nice bourgeois revolutionary, or "bourgeois reformer" was the way Otto Ferberg, the managing editor worded it. By enlarge, our articles supported the Cuban regime. The correspondent we had in Havana was, we knew, the world didn't know till much later, a CIA contract officer. He was supporting Castro, so obviously we were in good shape. Then one day I was called in, 1961, early 1961, I was called in before the Bay of Pigs, I was called into the managing editors office, and the senior editor, Bill Forbis, said: "Teto, we're going to go after Castro now." "Why?" "Because he's serious." "What do you mean he's serious, we've always knew he was serious." "Yes, but he's really serious. And that means he'll find out that the United States has been behind Batista all along. And he's going to expose it. And when that happens, we're going to take him off the sugar quota, and he's going to have to nationalize United Fruit."
