Hawaii followed Alaska into the union, with exultant celebrations throughout the islands to mark the dream fulfilled." Massive Cuban crowds with banners in Spanish. Castro and men with guns push through crowds, some folks pat Fidel on the back. Castro speaks into microphones to crowd. President Eisenhower, Queen Elizabeth, and Prince Philip on ship, St. Lawrence Seaway. Young women dance hula in grass skirts. Nighttime scenes of volcanic eruption, lava spurting and glowing. | |
