...much of the week, government workers had been scrubbing anti-U.S. slogans (samples: CARTER GO HOME! and PANAMA SI! CARTER NO!) from walls. But by the time that Air Force One landed at Tocumen International Airport, Torrijos' troops had chased the antitreaty students into hiding, and the government had brought thousands of supporters into Panama City, including peasants from rural provinces and Indians from the San Blas Islands. Several hundred schoolchildren, wearing yellow and brown uniforms, roared, "Viva Jimmy! Viva Omar!"as Carter embraced Torrijos on a flower-strewn red carpet. Later Carter told the crowd...
Immediately after the address, the President flew to Panama City to exchange the instruments of ratification of the Panama Canal treaties with General Torrijos.

Sentiment against the treaties among anti-Torrijos Panamanians had been increased early in the week by the dramatic return from exile in Miami of former Panamanian President Arnulfo Arias, a fervid opponent of the pacts.

More disturbing, there has been an upsurge in anti-Semitic activities, including the desecration of Jewish synagogues and cemeteries with swastikas or Nazi slogans...
...will eventually succeed the aged and ailing Apostle Herbert? Recent Convert Rader appears all-powerful, but he is not a minister and has numerous enemies. "Many people fear Stan immensely," says a veteran headquarters official. An anonymous "Committee of Twelve" has sent a vicious anti-Rader letter to all Worldwide ministers. Rader's candidate to take over may be the newly installed director of the church's ministry, C. Wayne Cole. But Garner Ted should not be counted out. Says Professor Joseph Hopkins of Pennsylvania's Westminster College, author of a recent book called The Armstrong Empire...
