“Ronald Hilton, professor emeritus of Romantic languages, died at his on-campus home on Feb. 20 at the age of 95. Hilton, who began teaching at Stanford in 1941, was famous for exposing the Bay of Pigs invasion to news sources in 1961. The failed attack was supported and funded by the United States, which planned to use armed Cuban exiles to overthrow the government of Fidel Castro.
The scholar of international affairs founded the Institute of Hispanic American and Luso-Brazilian Studies at Stanford, in addition to the California Institute of International Studies now the World Association of International Studies.”
