Its effect has been to give the Communist world a rallying cry, to create dozens of Dominican Communist martyrs and to turn an increasing number of rebels against the U.S." Said New York Timesman Tad Szulc: "The U.S. finds itself identified with a military junta that is widely hated, and it may be standing on the threshold of a violent showdown with the highly popular rebel movement...

Died. Quentin Reynolds, 62, journalist, war correspondent and author of 24 books (Dress Rehearsal, The Curtain Rises), many of them hero-studded accounts of World War II; of cancer; at Travis Air Force Base, Calif., following an emergency flight from Manila. Covering the war for Collier's, Reynolds poured his romantic Irish heart into vivid, highly personal combat reports from North Africa to Dieppe, winning high praise from such fans as Winston Churchill and such scorn from Columnist Westbrook Pegler that he won a $175,001 libel judgment from...
