...claimed to be gaining strength in the stalemate was Loyalist Leader Imbert, who had driven the rebels out of the city's northern section and was only prevented by U.S. troops from carrying the fight into the downtown rebel pocket. In Imbert's part of Santo Domingo, shops and factories opened. As Imbert himself visited a market, children tugged at his sleeve and people clustered around him. "We want freedom!" an old lady cried. "I think we have it," replied Imbert, embracing her. "We know you killed Trujillo," someone shouted. Imbert beamed. A young man identified himself...
...civil servants' salaries in both the loyalist and rebel zones; at Mora's orders, U.S. paratroopers moved in to block Imbert's access to the Central Bank. Indeed, the U.S. seemed more and more anxious to have the OAS take over in Santo Domingo. Brazil's General Hugo Panasco Alvim was scheduled to arrive and take over command of the 18,000-man peace-keeping force from Lieut. General Bruce Palmer. Mixed patrols of U.S. and Latin American troops started driving through Santo Domingo. And the first 3,500 U.S. marines and paratroopers departed...

Rebel strongpoints, particularly in the southeast section of Santo Domingo, are manned by Communists with only token allegiance to Caamaño." And after spending a week in Santo Domingo, Newsday's Marguerite Higgins filed another minority report: "Be wary of all those claims of widespread support for the rebel Constitutionalists or the loyalist junta. This reporter has been impressed by the hazards...
...outside the international zone. "He got quite upset," says one. "He refused to understand that this is not child's play and that our men must protect themselves." Both Collier and Szulc reported last week that U.S. troops were helping the loyalists fight the rebels in northern Santo Domingo, but no other reporters confirmed this story, and many flatly contradicted it. The New York Times ran an Air Force picture purportedly showing U.S. troops aiding the junta last week by arresting rebels. Actually, the photo was taken two weeks ago in the international zone, where rebels were being rounded...
