After a final, hearty abrazo, Barrientos flew to La Paz, where he made preparations for another summit meeting this week-with Brazil's President Humberto Castello Branco. Belaúnde got into a helicopter and whirred off to the isolated, primitive Peruvian village of Aguarunas, where his interpreter explained to the curious Indians that this tall, grey-haired white man was the President of something called Peru.

On a five-nation swing "in the cause of peace," López Mateos adroitly balanced cordial visits to Yugoslavia and Poland with an abrazo for De Gaulle and a nice chat with old friends Prince Bernhard and Princess Irene of The Netherlands. West Berlin was on the agenda too, and there Mexico's "independent" foreign policy made sightseeing a drag. López Mateos had no time for Checkpoint Charlie, the Wall...
