Meyer Lansky, the obvious model for Roth, was rejected by Israel in '72 and landed in Miami after that, but he never suffered a stroke or attempted murder on New Year's Eve, 1958-9 (I don't think he was even in Cuba that night). I'm basing my surmise about Roth returning "to vote in the [1960] election" on the statement he made in his Havana hotel room to Michael: "Just looking for one man who wants to be President, and having the cash to do it."


True enough TB. I just wish that FFC would publish a timeline that makes some sense.
