...America guided U.S. foreign policy in the Southern Hemisphere. In recent times the doctrine has grown dusty; no one in Europe was interested in Latin America. Last week President Ford uncorked a new version of the old policy, enunciating what might be called the Ford Doctrine. Angry over Premier Fidel Castro's decision last December to dispatch Cuban troops to Angola, Ford denounced Castro as an "international outlaw" before a group of Cubans in Miami just about to receive their U.S. citizenship (and thus become potential voters), and said that the U.S. would take "appropriate action" against Castro...
...assumption that South Africa will not enter the war in force on the Rhodesian side, since such a move might trigger an Angola-scale Cuban intervention. At the moment, the British are resigned to the Cubans participating in a training and logistical role. But they do not think Fidel Castro's forces will engage in heavy combat as they did in Angola, unless Smith receives large reinforcements of South Africans or white mercenaries...
Brezhnev's keynote address, delivered in the Kremlin's Palace of Congresses, lasted more than five hours.

Then too, last week's trip came just after disclosures of illegal payoffs in Latin America by such multinational giants as Lockheed, Gulf and Occidental Petroleum...
...most of the M.P.L.A. victories, but at some cost. There are estimates that 300 have been killed and 1,400 wounded; at least 100 have been taken prisoner. Such losses may have an impact at home, where only within the past month have Cubans been formally told by Premier Fidel Castro what their men have been doing for nearly a year...
