Florida Winter's Lively Bizarre Mix Of Tomatoes And Strippers
Florida's winter brought odd contrasts with tomatoes, stripteasers, and Cuban exile activity. A Miami revolution bust involved a tomato throw at Anita Ekberg, while 30,000 migrant workers faced near starvation until aid arrived. One farmer profited by growing tomatoes in cold weather. Spring brought renewed business, but police and officials seized arms. U S marshals jailed former Cuban president Carlos Prio Socarras briefly on neutrality charges as the recession loomed and hotel debts multiplied. Manny Cohen built a 700 acre tomato empire amid turmoil and reward.
