...coming Panamanian politician, Aquilino Boyd liked to make his position witheringly clear. He led a band of hooligans in the 1959 Canal Zone riots-they tore down an American flag and urinated on it. At the U.N. during last January's Panama crisis, he was all indignation, accusing the U.S. of "bloody aggression." Last week he was back home, being more aggressive still...
...recent elections for President and the National Assembly, Boyd was among the losers, failing to retain the Deputy's seat that he had held in addition to his diplomat's job. Panama's daily La Hora ran an editorial taunting him on his poor showing, adding that even his effort to cheat his way in had flopped.

Hosca Williams, a Negro integrationist leader with boundless energy and a broad smile was briefing us on the local situation. Although the demonstrations during the preceding week had succeeded in integrating only one or two restaurants and a church, the persistence of local Negroes and about thirty New England white chaplains and students had at least made an impression...
