...more of a cutting-down than a building-up pastime. Geyelin, the diplomatic correspondent of the Wall Street Journal, adds some choice cuts. In this book, the first comprehensive study of Lyndon Johnson's performance in foreign policy, Geyelin reports that the President sent the Marines to Santo Domingo with the cry that it was "just like the Alamo." And he records some presidential double-edged scorn: Handing the Dominican government back to Juan Bosch, said Johnson, "would be like turning it over to Arthur Schlesinger Jr." Geyelin alludes to Johnson's scorching private appraisals of De Gaulle...
...astonished to read in your report [July 8] on the Dominican Republic inauguration that Vice President Humphrey "arrived on the run, flushed and hurried over an overlong chat with Peace Corps workers." As a member of the U.S. delegation in Santo Domingo, I accompanied the Vice President to the ceremony in the Congress building. Our party was one of the first to arrive. The arrival was calm, unflushed and unhurried...
White-suited diplomats filed into Santo Domingo's glittering National Palace. U.S. Vice President Hubert Humphrey arrived on the run, flushed and hurried over an overlong chat with Peace Corps workers. A few moments later, a 21-gun salute pounded out over the Caribbean and rolled across the Santo Domingo coastal plain, signaling to Dominicans the inauguration of the country's first constitutional President since the military toppled Leftist Juan Bosch in 1963.

John Duffy's opening A-minor music for brass, cymbals and kettledrums smacks too much of a Near East movie spectacular, but the later rustic music, in the traditional rustic key of F-major, is much better. When...
Nursing & Cursing. The same optimism was apparently shared last week by white-haired U.S. Diplomat Ellsworth Bunker, 72, who at last was packing up and leaving for home. A member of the OAS's three-man peace committee and Washington's mint-cool troubleshooter in Santo Domingo, Bunker first arrived on the turbulent scene in June 1965, and over the months nursed, cursed, cajoled and wheedled the two rival factions to a truce and, finally, to elections this month. In the process, he won the respect and trust of both sides. "He doesn't see labels," says...
