Paragraph one says "numbering a mere 81 people". Paragraph 2 says "82 men landed". Which is it? I know this probably isn't known for sure by anyone, but we should probably come to a consensus. Google gives only eight hits for "26th of July" "81 men" but 84 hits for "26th of July" "82 men". In 1963, Castro said it was 82. I move we go with 82.
