Frei flew to Paris from Rome in Charles de Gaulle's personal Caravelle and got a warm reception from De Gaulle at the airport. At a press luncheon, Frei called for an "Alliance for Progress" between Europe and Latin America, then plucked a mildly anti-U.S. chord that warmed De Gaulle. "It is a fact," said Frei, "that the U.S. is a great world power and exerts hegemony in several parts of the world. We Latin Americans want a system without hegemony." Did this mean a cooling of U.S.-Chilean relations? Not at all, explained Frei. "The discrepancy...
...member House of Councilors. Even so, the results were bad medicine for the government. The powerful Socialist Party made significant gains, as did the Soka Gakkai, a militant Buddhist organization whose Komeito (Clean Government) party emerged as a major political force by preaching pacifism, reform and anti-U.S. nationalism. In scandal-rocked Tokyo, government candidates could not win a single seat...
...pondered whether or not to recognize the new regime. Moscow was embarrassed because Ben Bella had been decked out with a Lenin Peace Prize. It hardly seemed decorous to embrace the new man too hastily, so Russia did nothing.

All around him thousands of people were chanting hysterically "Down with American imperialism. Long live the Cuban people's revolution." Yet in his immediate vicinity, many were pushing past each other in their eagerness to shake hands with the "American friend...
...nations, has about 4,500,000 inhabitants, whose yearly per capita income is only $50. Once part of French West Africa, Upper Volta gained its independence in 1960 and elected Yameogo, then 38, its first President. A staunch U.S. ally in the presence of such powerful anti-U.S. neighbors as Ghana's Kwame Nkrumah, Yameogo did not come seeking more U.S. aid (Upper Volta gets about $1,000,000 a year), simply wanted to reassure Johnson that Upper Volta and the other moderate, new African nations continue to hold the U.S. in high esteem. For his pains, Yameogo...
