Convinced that President Juan Bosch was veering too far left, Dominican Republic military leaders turned him out last September. In his place, they set up what they considered a reliably docile civilian triumvirate too weak to do any harm-or any good. But when the junta went through its inevitable first shake-up last December, out went one of its members and in stepped Donald Reid Cabral, 40, a Santo Domingo auto dealer and the frail (5 ft. 6 in., 132 Ibs.) but strong-willed son of a Scots banker. Since then, Reid has clearly become more equal than...
...Instead of Talk. Donny Reid, as Dominicans call him, got into politics as a plotter against Dictator Rafael Leonidas Trujillo and as vice president in the Council that ruled after Trujillo's assassination in 1961. Reid has no official political party ties, took no direct part in Bosch's overthrow.

Sundry other splendors. Through March...
...Dominican Republic has embarrassed the U.S. for decades. After the U.S.-encouraged assassination of Dictator Trujillo in 1961, the U.S. in 1962 ardently supported Author Juan Bosch, an exile for 24 years, in presidential elections. He won, then allowed Dominican Communists to organize openly and proved to be inept. Fed up, the Dominican army threw Bosch out, but the U.S.-with a fixed policy in favor of constitutional government even when it is bad-broke off relations with the junta. Later it got promises that there would be free elections, and relations were restored. But U.S. Ambassador John Bartlow Martin...
