Description
Contains two sheets. Top frames show Phyllis and Marvin Minoff admiring the view of La Rampa, a commercial and entertainment strip in el Vedado, a neighborhood of Havana, from a viewing window at the Hotel Caprí. Bottom images show Jean Paul Sartre, his wife and equally prominent intellectual, Simone de Beauvoir, and several unidentified men talking and lounging poolside at the Hotel Nacional. Sitting on the floor at de Beauvoir's feet is Robert Taber, CBS News correspondent and previous collaborator with St. George for stories on Raúl Castro's guerrilla column in the Sierra Maestra in July 1958. These hotels are within walking distance of one another in el Vedado, Havana.
