...meeting on Saturday, the foreign ministers of Argentina and Peru called for an end to the 12-year-old boycott. The Chilean foreign minister, Rear Admiral Ismael Diuz, asked that the boycott be maintained. He argued that "Castroism constitutes a danger for peace and security of the continent...
...fact that President Nixon accurately noted in an ebullient 1971 salute to the visiting Medici: "As Brazil goes, so will the rest of the Latin American continent." That encomium caused brass buttons to pop on Brazilian uniforms. It also chilled the political leaders of Brazil's neighbors-notably Argentina-who fear the imperial ambitions of a new "colossus on the make...
Kidnaping businessmen and forcing their employers to pay ransom has become a prime tactic of radical political groups, especially against U.S. companies operating in Argentina and other Latin American countries.

Lest the tension become unbearable, a third paragraph offers relief: "But don't panic. It may take ten to 14 years before the bees hit the U.S." This rather anticlimactic tale could well be a metaphor for the paper that carries it in its first issue, appearing on newsstands this week. The tabloid weekly National Star is arriving with...
