...duly deplored by some in Washington as exercises in frustration. In virtually every capital that Rockefeller visited, his arrival catalyzed longstanding Latin American resentments, frustrations and anxieties. There were anti-U.S. demonstrations, angry shouts of "Fuera Yanqui" (Yankee, Get Out), riots and at least seven deaths, including four in the Dominican Republic last week. Three nations asked the Governor to cancel scheduled stops, for fear his presence would cause violence...
...more serious was the situation on the road between the two bases. While working to keep the road open and in good repair, the American engineers could not depend upon the South Vietnamese for protection. On several occasions, the South Vietnamese refused to respond to pleas by ambushed engineers. Four weeks ago, a 20-man ARVN guard detail deserted a U.S. working party when North Vietnamese ambushers opened fire.

But for the 80,000 or so who crowded in and around the ancient castle of Caernarvon, the mixture of Welsh informality...
Huntington Hartford's initial education in publishing lasted four years, cost $7,000,000 and was called Show magazine (it folded in 1965). Last week Hunt announced he is coming back for more, as associate publisher of a new (come October) trade weekly, Entertainment World, and as editor in chief of a new (come January) monthly devoted to motion pictures. Its hauntingly familiar title: Show magazine. At the press conference called to announce the new ventures, Hartford's luck ran true to form: the invitations were delayed and only one reporter showed...
