On the 1962 missile crisis, and Cuba coverage:
The Miami Herald's Don Bohning, long-time Caribbean correspondent now retired, was at the conference held in Cuba last week.
"In retrospect, said Castro at one point during the conference, Cuba would ''rather have been invaded by the Americans than accept the missiles'' and the humiliation that resulted from their sudden withdrawal."
Bohning also writes about covering the Grenada invasion.
