El Presidente!" and making eager preparations for their leader's return, two years to the day after his overthrow and exile by the Dominican military.

They are best exemplified by the Dominican Republic, where the Communists resorted to the old "popular front" strategy, muscling into a legitimate non-Communist rebel movement with hopes of duping its idealistic leader, Juan Bosch. Much the same technique was employed a year ago in Panama and in Goulart's Brazil (1961-64), and in both countries it proved unsuccessful.
