...Alfonso Garcia Robles, 59, Mexico's ambassador to the U.N. Though he is capable, Garcia might be considered by the Soviets too close to the U.S. thumb...
...White Racism: Galleano (in Guatemala: Occupied Country ) says that most of the guerrillas are Indian. I'd like to think so but it's probably not true. Alfonso Bauer Paiz says 30 per cent. About 60 per cent of the population is Indian, and almost all the peasants are Indian. I am sorry to find that most Guatemalan students (who are all white) are quite racist-even some of the big anti-imperialists.

...JUST READ in the New York Times [Dec. 27, 1970], that one of the few Guatemalan professors who was not afraid to talk to me has been shot while driving his car by one of the Right's death squads.

And as for how they eat, the director...

Though Caldwell must appear before the grand jury, ruled Zirpoli, the reporter "need not reveal confidential associations that impinge upon the effective exercise of his First Amendment right to gather news for dissemination to the public." Such disclosures may be required, the judge added, but only if the government first satisfies the court that there is "a compelling and overriding national interest which cannot alternatively be served." Judge Zirpoli...
