...Chief Soviet Delegate Zorin had done hatchet jobs before. Zorin was the Ambassador to Czechoslovakia who helped organize the Soviet plot that converted the Czechs' wobbly democracy into an armed dictatorship and that very possibly helped Foreign Minister Jan Masaryk "fall" to his death in the courtyard of the Czech Foreign Ministry. He has served as Ambassador to Bonn, more recently stonewalled the West in the interminable disarmament talks in Geneva. Lacking the vulpine brilliance of Andrei Vishinsky but more animated than the dead-faced Andrei Gromyko, and probably less able than either, Zorin is now rated...
...Bolivia. When a group of junketing members of the Soviet Party Congress arrived in La Paz last week, they were greeted by a wildly cheering throng, which clashed with cops when it tried to raise Red flags atop the airport terminal. Later, a TNT bomb was tossed into the courtyard of the U.S. embassy, shattering windows but fortunately injuring no one.

"Your Holiness, we are making history," said the Archbishop to Pope John XXIII. For an hour, alone except for an interpreter, the two churchmen spoke of matters temporal and spiritual...
...recent Sunday in Lima, a mob of swarthy, high-cheekboned workers crowded into the courtyard of an old two-story building called "The House of the People." In a carnival mood, the workers guffawed at puppet shows, consumed bowls of guinea-pig soup and bottles of rotgut pisco brandy sold at kiosks emblazoned with the initials of the political party hosting the blowout-APRA. By such homespun come-ons, Peru's American Revolutionary Popular Alliance was busily laying the groundwork last week for the 1962 presidential election-and what the movement thinks is its best opportunity to rule...
