In 1958 the agency promised to provide a group of dissident Dominicans with a sharpshooter and rifle if they could induce Dominican General...
Time Inc. Editor in Chief Hedley Donovan and Mexico City Bureau Chief Bernard Diederich interviewed Echeverria at Los Pinos, his official residence in wooded Chapultepec Park in the heart of Mexico City. "No longer is the President's residence a show place of expensive imported European furnishings as it has been in the past," cabled Diederich. "Instead, each of the public rooms is a permanent exhibition of folk art and crafts from all of Mexico's 31 states and territories.
