APRIL 1970: West German Ambassador Count Karl von Spreti was murdered when the Guatemalan government refused to meet the guerrillas' demand for the release of 22 political prisoners. Curtis C. Cutter, U.S. consul in Porto Alegre, Brazil, was wounded in the shoulder but escaped kidnaping by gunning his car around a roadblock. MAY 1970: Pedro Eugenio Aramburu, former President of Argentina, was kidnaped from his home in Buenos Aires and killed...
Indeed it is, and State Department men who remember the demoralizing days of John Foster Dulles and Joe McCarthy count another kind of progress. Two months ago, Nixon Counsellor Clark Mollenhoff, who has since returned to a journalist's job with the Des Moines Register, made a request to State Department Deputy Undersecretary William B.

Actually, Project Bessie Smith is timed perfectly. Blues dominate the pop music scene today in much the same way that jazz did in the late 1930s and early 1940s...
This would count for little if Golden Bat were not persistently entertaining and deftly professional. The company, all aged 25 or under, was formed two years ago as an underground theater group calling itself The Tokyo Kid Brothers, and is now designated as the La Mama Tokyo troupe. English is slightly favored over Japanese as the language of the evening, but each tongue is like a quick-change costume donned for the humor of it. Some of the speech-solo numbers could stand cutting. However, one of these speech solos, delivered with exquisite intensity by Shoichi Saito, contains the distilled...
