We used to guess which of them were members of Cuban intelligence – probably they all were to one degree or another; it was the only way to be allowed to international conferences

A very dear friend of ours, Russian and Jewish, had to become a member of the Communist Party in order to get an education in the USSR. Even then, he was forced to leave. It was par for the course.

Latour was indeed lucky to leave Cuba with his entire family. Most of the Cuban girls I grew up with spent several years trying to get reunited with their parents and siblings. Several lost a parent.
