...Isidro, nine miles east of Santo Domingo, Wessin y Wessin, 40, was the key man in the fall of President Juan Bosch's inept, Red-pampering government in 1963. He was one of the first to recognize Castroite influence in the pro-Bosch revolt against Donald Reid Cabral last spring (TIME cover, May 7). Calling for U.S. help, he sent his tanks and F51 fighters to contain the rebels in a corner of downtown Santo Domingo.

A shrewd, tough-minded onetime auto dealer, Reid is trying to lead the country into new elections by mid-1965. Six political parties have ratified a plan for two elections-for the Constituent Assembly and the presidency. But deposed President Juan Bosch's supporters and two other parties are withholding their support. Bosch followers are demanding full political freedom for their exiled leader; the other holdouts want more guarantees that a free election will be held. Not until...
