...expected over the retention of U.S. bases in the zone, but then much of the Panamanian left (as well as the right) is in exile. But many Panamanians, perhaps unrealistically, look to the treaty to cure many of their national ills?including a zero growth rate. Says Nicolas Ardito Barletta, Minister of Planning and Economic Policy: "This will create a perfect situation for a lasting boom...
...first time. Valery Borzov, from the little Ukrainian town of Novaya Kakhovka, had beaten every international runner to face him in three seasons. If anyone could conquer him by the time the Games began, it seemed it might be the "Southern Arrow," Pietro Mennea, a native of Barletta on the heel of Italy's boot. Or perhaps stocky Jean-Louis Ravelomanantsoa of the Malagasy Republic. Borzov remains unbeaten, but at the trials for the U.S. team last month, two qualifiers exploded past his best time. Slim, goateed Eddie Hart and Reynaud ("Sugar Rey") Robinson both equaled the world record...
...Mundo, owned by the multimillionaire clan of Amadeo H. Barletta (U.S. investments, expropriated Cuban TV stations, G.M. distributorship), dispatches some of its 2,000 copies under "official" sponsorship: sailors in Castro's coast guard, restive under the dictatorship, smuggle in the twelve-page, heavily illustrated standard-size paper.

The columnist visited Strongman Batista twice and was steered around town by Batista's American Pressagent Edmund Chester. Pundit Pearson irritated Cuban readers with his naive reporting and prize factual boners, e.g., Pearson wrote that Batista "once threw out Cuba's most hated dictator," although, as every Cuban schoolchild knows, Batista had nothing to do with Dictator Gerardo Machado's ouster in 1933. Quipped El Mundo Columnist Carlos Robreno: If Batista...
...right to spank Latin American troublemakers. But President Roosevelt has shrugged off the responsibilities of the Monroe Doctrine, told Latin America that the Colossus of the North, reformed into a Good Neighbor, would not forcibly interfere in its affairs. In theory this means that, in such a case as Barletta's, the U. S. would let Mussolini do his own spanking, send his own warboat to Santo Domingo, where Dictator Trujillo quietly runs one of the world's most efficient little Terrors. However, in practice, an Italian warboat in the Caribbean would hurt U. S. prestige as much...
