...stormy old name out of Central America's turbulent past was stirring new winds last week. From Venezuela, where he lives in exile teaching "History of Philosophy and Culture," Juan José Arévalo, 57, the anti-Yankee President of Guatemala from 1945 to 1951, announced that he will return home next month to start building for the 1963 presidential elections. As he prepared his comeback, one of his old U.S.-baiting books-The Shark and the Sardines, published in 1956 -was raising hackles in the U.S. in a new printing hotly promoted by Castroites...
...harpoons for "Uncle Shark" may prove a current embarrassment for Arévalo, who now sings a less strident line and says he will not even take royalties from Castro. But his book was no momentary aberration. A self-styled "spiritual Socialist," he blamed his country's ills on the United Fruit Co., which had immense holdings in Guatemala, accused the U.S. Government of backing the company's "exploitations," once expelled a U.S. ambassador who offended him.

Stelle, in charge of the futile talks, flew home to report to President Kennedy...
...posies for the boss's secretary and ruses for the boss, J. Pierpont goes sonic. The boss is "J.B." Bigley, a pince-nezed P.G. Wodehouse caricature of a corporation president, which is precisely the way ex-Crooner Rudy Vallee (age: 60) plays him. J.B. knits for relaxation; Finch ar ranges to be caught knitting. J.B. warms, bumble-tongued, to his dedicated under ling: "I like the way you thinch, Fink." Naturally, there are booby traps in the corridors of power. There is J.B.'s nephew, Frump (Charles Nelson Reilly), who has the looks and the instincts...
