▌ EPISODE NOTES

Fidel is the newly installed as Prime Minister of Cuba — and immediately does on a charm offensive to the United States, where he wows crowds, spars with Richard Nixon, and somehow convinces a CIA analyst he’s basically anti-communist. Meanwhile, back in Washington, Eisenhower is conveniently playing golf… and quietly ordering the CIA to start planning Castro’s removal.
