Palm Beach was a working vacation for the President; all week dignitaries dropped in like sun-seeking tourists. Argentina's President Arturo Frondizi, completing a 32-day tour of Canada and the Far East, came for a 90-minute conference on Cuba. Kennedy had hoped to enlist Frondizi's support of sanctions against Fidel Castro, but from a nation that has been notably easygoing against Fidel, he could get no more than agreement on a wrist-slapping resolution (see THE HEMISPHERE). Treasury Secretary Douglas Dillon and Budget Director David Bell brought along the fiscal 1963 budget. Kennedy approved...
Castro's own braggadocio has somewhat brightened the chances of a joint stand against him at Punta del Este. Before he made his boast, such pivotal Latin American leaders as Argentina's President Arturo Frondizi were dead set against anything-even mere disapproval-that could be construed as intervention. Last week, at Palm Beach on his way home from a world tour, Frondizi wound up 1½ hours of talk with President Kennedy with an agreement that some action should come out of the Uruguay conference...

Ambassador Adlai Stevenson aboard a presidential jet and sent him winging to Trinidad to enlist the support of Argentina's pivotal President Arturo Frondizi for the Colombian plan. But after a two-hour, twenty-minute dead-of-night talk with Stevenson, Frondizi would only agree vaguely to "consider" an OAS foreign ministers' conference...

There, jutting out of Betancourt's pocket, was a pistol butt. The picture raised questions of why a head of state should pack his own pistol. But in Latin America, where the bullet is often more decisive than the ballot, no politician has a better right to fulltime self-protection than Venezuela's embattled chief executive...
...speech sounded fine at home, where Argentines felt an unaccustomed pride in their austere, crisis-ridden and not very popular President. Nor did it hurt when Frondizi showed himself highly human by ducking out of his hotel one evening, taking a taxi over to Broadway and 46th Street. He dropped into a cafeteria, ordered a steak and a beer, then strolled on Broadway, licking an ice-cream cone and rubbernecking like any tourist...
