I was on assignment for Paris-Match Magazine.  Fidel was making an ‘unofficial’ visit to the United States.  He attended meetings at the United Nations and spoke with Vice President Nixon, then made a grand speech in New York’s Central Park.  Afterwards, he retired to his room in the New Yorker hotel  where he lit his Havana  using a Zippo lighter and stared vacantly ahead seeming to contemplate just what he had wrought
