Chile's conservative President Jorge Alessandri was openly enthusiastic about the promised "thoroughgoing social reform," and Argentina's Arturo Frondizi said that "there can be no social development without economic development." All these were promising signs for Latin America's long-term good, but if the U.S. expected any immediate dividends from its diplomatic attempts to retrieve the Cuban disaster...
