Some remembered how he would climb to the top of an eight-foot observation tower on the farm and scan the horizon through binoculars. Basilio Silotto, a farm worker, reported that Pedro had told him once that Hitler was a great man.

Over two days, Congressmen voted on three measures: the already abandoned military-aid proposal, a Democratic alternative providing $14 million for civilian aid and peacekeeping expenses, and a Republican proposal similar to the one adopted in the Senate. The Democratic measure passed its initial vote, 219 to 206. Republicans tried desperately to supplant it with their Administration-approved compromise, and they almost succeeded. When the final tally showed 215 against...
