President Carlos Castillo Armas and his wife were to dine alone one night last week in the block-long Presidential Palace in Guatemala City. Not even one of the wiry President's military aides was present as the couple strolled arm in arm down the long, wide hallway from their bedroom apartment to the dining room. Only the crack Presidential Guards stood duty in the series of archways that led to the courtyard gardens...
...years (ten for the Trib) on the banana-belt beat, he has developed an uncanny facility for guessing when and where a story will break. In Guatemala, where he reported as early as 1948 that the Arevalo regime was Communist-infiltrated, he arrived on the scene only hours before Castillo Armas' successful uprising broke out in 1954. New York-born Dubois speaks fluent Spanish and Portuguese, travels 100,000 miles a year from his base in Panama as a roving reporter and Hemisphere drumbeater for the Trib.

The moment a free press fears to cry stop, he suggests, it invites new Trujillos...
...more than four centuries old, whose gambit is daring colors and bizarre fabrics. In the Rue Cambon, Coco Chanel has staged a comeback with soft, clinging suits that suppress the bosom ("Madame Chanel doesn't like it-since 30 years, she doesn't like it"). At Lanvin-Castillo, the place where Parisiennes used to go if they wanted to be sure they would not be mistaken for Americans, Designer Antonio Castillo made a hit last month with 180 variations on an Oriental theme...
