Description:
Unidentified wealthy Cuban businessman in his office, seen amidst several members of his staff in a general office area. This man may have been the subject of a story St. George did with another reporter. It is likely that the reporter has interviewed the businessman on the occasion of Mikoyan's visit, amidst speculation that the Revolution was already or soon to become "Communist." See also Prints 85, 86 and 88.

Description:
Top frames document a student rally on the Escalinata (entrance steps) of the University of Havana. Along the speakers' platform a banner appears with the words "Mes del Recinto" (Month of the Campus). Probably taken in November of 1959 when the university was undergoing the first phase of revolutionary reforms that would initially purge all professors with a history of batistiano allegiance from the campus and eventually end the autonomy of the university from state intervention by the fall of the following year. In frames 7 and 8, it is possible to make out the central figure of Fidel Castro as he addresses the crowd. Bottom frames show images of a car race held at the Ciudad Deportiva, probably taken in February of 1960 when St. George included similar images in a series of photographs taken forTime magazine that focused on the visit of a pair of honeymooners from New York and the apparent decline of international tourism in Cuba following the simultaneous visit of Soviet Premier Anastas Mikoyan. See also Prints 31, 36, 48; for other images of car racing at the Ciudad Deportiva, see Book VII.
