Biographers cite Roosevelts assault on Hoover and courts

Castro Cuba military power and Soviet support loom large
Intelligence briefings to Congress warn Castro’s regime is at peak military efficiency due to Soviet aid. Cuba’s air force and transport aircraft give it power to threaten Latin American neighbors and potentially reach parts of Florida, Jamaica, Haiti, and the Bahamas. Nixon counsels Connally to redefine conservatism, while a Delta court ruling threatens pilots who have recovered from alcoholism.
