Latin America has been largely overlooked by the presidential aspirants, but the man still in office has not forgotten it. Last week, as reassurance to the U.S.'s southern neighbors, President Johnson flew to San Salvador for a minisummit with the presidents of five Central American republics: El Salvador, Costa Rica, Honduras, Nicaragua and Guatemala. Before leaving Texas, he conferred with Bolivia's President Rene Barrientos Ortuno at the L.B.J. ranch and played host to ambassadors from 20 Latin countries at San Antonio's HemisFair, itself a symbol of inter-American solidarity. The Administration hoped that...
...gathering last week was characteristic of a great family that has all the money it will ever need. One young Mellon flew in from Bombay, where he had been hunting tigers, and will shortly return to his real job of collecting wild animals in Kenya. Dr. Matthew T. Mellon, a retired art-history professor who, at 71, is the eldest male in the U.S. branch of the family, stayed with the Duke of Abercorn - which is more than his grandparents ever did. Dr. Mellon has not been in Pittsburgh for years; he has houses in Jamaica, Kitzbuhel and Manhattan...

Dislodging the occupying students, who put up no fight, the police then tore down the red and black flags that flew over the old building, replacing them with three Tricolors...
...reason was that many leading European prelates considered Paul's message patently unacceptable. Vienna's Franziskus Cardinal Konig, who had been informed of its contents in advance, flew to Rome two weeks ago to implore the Pope not to release it. While satisfactory to conservatives of the Roman Curia, Konig argued, the pronouncement was "most unwise pastorally and apostolically," and it would "do the church much damage." Such other European liberals as Belgium's Leo Josef Cardinal Suenens and Munich's Julius Cardinal Dopfner reportedly telephoned Pope Paul with similar objections...
