The husband of Mrs. Ana Maria Sanchez \ (left) is held on the Isle of Pines, with a price of $100,000 on his head. \ The brother of Mrs. Robert W. Kean, Jr. (right) is held in Havana's \ Castillo del Principe fortress, for a $50,000 ransom. Both men were \ captured in last year's unsuccessful Bay of Pigs invasion attempt. \ Credit: Bob Henriques © 1962 MAGNUM Photos
