Description: Top rows of frames show cheering students as Fidel Castro rides in his car on the Princeton campus to a reception held in his honor. Third row of frames show members of Fidel's entourage, including Teresa Casuso, his special assistant (in white hat) on a train, although it is not clear on which part of the journey north these were taken. After a multi-day stay in Washington, D.C., Fidel went to Princeton, then New York City and finally Boston, eventually departing for Argentina on April 26th and returning to Cuba in mid-May. Frames 4-12 show Fidel lounging on a bed and speaking to several members of his staff on the trip, probably at the lodgings arranged for them in New Jersey. Bottom frames depict members of the New Jersey state police patrolling the reception while Fidel Castro talks to Princeton administrators. See also Prints 30, 31, 32, 33, 37 and 41.
