...accurately, one of Feltrinelli's ex-wives suggested that he was "a 45-year-old Boy Scout" who yearned for a revolutionary glory that was never to be his. The emotional high point of his career as a leftist came in 1967, when he was thrown into a Bolivian jail while attending the trial of Marxist Theorist Regis Debray. Feltrinelli later wrote an article about "my prison"; in fact, he had spent only eight hours in jail...

Other roads will reach out to Surinam, French Guiana, Colombia and Venezuela to the north, and to Brazil's industrialized states in the south...

In an effort to decrease its dependence on the U.S., Latin America is now looking elsewhere for economic and military aid, chiefly to Europe, Japan and even the Soviet Union. In the past few years Moscow has established diplomatic relations with eight Latin American countries and sharply increased its trade with them to more than $300 million annually. France has invaded a traditional U.S. aircraft market with Mirage jets...
