Many Latin Americans suggested bitterly, however, that the government's uncompromising stand was influenced by the fact that Von Spreti was not North American. One previously exchanged revolutionary last week asked TIME Correspondent Bernard Diederich in Mexico City: "Do you think the Guatemalan government would have dared to refuse the deal if it had been a Yankee ambassador...
...decision set in motion a widely based team of TIME staffers. Notable among them were Caribbean Correspondent Richard Duncan and veteran Santo Domingo Stringer Bernard Diederich, who was on a brief assignment in New York. The two flew to Puerto Rico, and since all civilian access to the Dominican Republic was closed, they went the military route. From San Juan harbor they were ferried by a U.S. Navy LST to the assault carrier Boxer, already en route to Dominican waters with the first contingent of marines.

Just 24 last week, and married to a medical student at Northwestern University, she has the face and figure of a campus beauty queen, which she was a few years ago at Minnesota's Carleton College. (She also graduated magna cum laude with a Phi Beta Kappa key.) But her 100 students in four daily classes have no time for ogling...
