This is the season of Latin America's discontents, and those discontents are taking ever more tangible and visible forms. Most of the Latin countries are unhappy with the U.S., as Nelson Rockefeller's three fact-finding missions for President Nixon have graphically demonstrated. Either the U.S. plays too large a role in their economies -or it does not do enough in terms of aid and favorable trade. Rockefeller's trips have provided a focus for protest. Many Latin American nations are also unhappy with themselves and in search of new paths to progress. That combination...
...visited Cairo last month, Russia switched its stance and in a hard-lining note delivered two weeks ago echoed Arab demands for total Israeli withdrawal on all fronts to prewar lines. The Soviets also called for demilitarized zones "astride" the borders, a suggestion that Israel has always resisted. In fact, the only encouraging sign was a negative one. Nasser has apparently not rejected the notion of a "contractual agreement," thus keeping open the possibility of a deal with the Israelis and indicating a desire for the big-power talks to continue...
...from it. But he had been there before and knew the pitfalls. "When I was 18," Choreographer George Balanchine. 65, told his charges, "I came here and got sick. Now please don't eat awful stuff like octopus. And don't charge into the water. In fact, don't do anything." Anything, that is, except dance. Prince Rainier and Princess Grace had invited Balanchine's New York City Ballet to Monaco for a week-long festival commemorating the 40th anniversary of the death of Sergei Diaghilev, whose famed Ballets Russes Balanchine choreographed in the 1920s...

The onetime (1945) Miss America has discovered that burger beef, like hot-dog meat, is being adulterated with all sorts of things: soy proteins, starchy flour, cereal and chemical additives. As a matter of fact, 156 out of 421 New York restaurants checked by her 46 inspectors were suspected of serving "shamburgers." So she has revived a long-neglected section of the city administrative code, which stipulates that "hamburger shall consist of beef, all beef and nothing but beef"-and decrees a maximum $250 fine and/or...
...archaeologists have identified at least a dozen different layers within Schliemann's hillside. None of these historic Troys, Berve savs, would in any way be familiar to the Iliad's readers, except that they overlooked a plain near the Aegean Sea. In fact, the layer that most closely coincides with the date suggested by Homeric scholars for the Trojan War (circa 1200 B.C.), and that is known as Trov VI to archaeologists, seems entirely improbable as the battle site. Berve gives two reasons: 1) the fortifications enclose an area where no more than a few hundred people could...
