...another spin to the gay whirl, Bolivia's President Victor Paz Estenssoro flew 665 miles northwest to Lima one day last week. It was a historic occasion. Ever since Chile defeated them in the War of the Pacific (1879-83), Peru and Bolivia have sullenly blamed each other for their joint misfortune. But from the moment that Peruvian President Manuel Odría gave him a big abrazo at the airport, Paz Estenssoro was treated like a long-lost brother.
