Syria had requested the special session to complain about Nasser's "aggression and open interference" in its internal affairs, presented 200 pages of names, dates and affidavits to document the charge...
...their plight. His own voice had been his livelihood in a career devoted to the stage, movies and TV. Then, while touring with the road company of The Best Man two years ago, playing the role of an ex-President who dies of cancer, Gargan himself began to complain of a continually sore throat. Doctors discovered he had cancer of the larynx. His voice box was removed, and what was left of his windpipe now ends at a collar-button-level hole in his neck.

Seventeen months after President Kennedy's stirring speech announcing the Alianza para el Progrcso, and a year after it was solemnly formalized by 20 hemisphere nations at Punta del Este, the program is in trouble. Latin Americans complain that the promised aid flows slowly. U.S. planners are discouraged by the manana attitude of many Latin American governments on the reciprocal social and economic reforms needed to make the U.S. aid dollars effective. Everyone realizes that there has been too much talk about what the Alliance was going...
