#1 If I recall the background correctly, Castro at the time had only a few dozen followers. So in order to put on a good show for the Timesman - who in the best Walter Duranty tradition was all too eager to shill for a communist thug - he had his remaining troops march past Matthews, slip into the bush, circle back around and march past him again and again, thus making it look like his force was in the thousands.

BTW, does anyone know if this toad is any relation to the traitorous pond-scum Chrissy Matthews?
