Footloose Dancer Djuna was not the only one who was enthralled by Rango the Guatemalan Indian. Paris nightclub patrons who heard his songs "drank from his voice and his guitar." But it was Djuna who rented a barge on the Seine for him. There, while Djuna cried, "You are the God of Fire," and Rango kissed her feet, they "gave each other their many selves, avoiding only the more recent ones...
...usual, the trouble involved the dictator-ridden Dominican Republic. Haiti's spokesman before the O.A.S. charged that the Dominicans, while raising a hue & cry about Cuban and Guatemalan plots against themselves, had actually been hatching a plot of their own against neighboring Haiti.

Cowgill thinks that the work he has been doing will help close...
...shifted to diplomatic means. The new approach involved cooing noises aimed toward Honduras and El Salvador. Inspired newspaper stories spoke hopefully of future meetings between Arevalo and Honduras' new President Juan Manuel Gálvez, between Arévalo and the Salvadorean junta's Major Oscar Osorio. Guatemalan student delegations were hustled off to both countries to spread good will. Noting slight leftward turns by both governments, Arévalo exulted: "I don't have to paddle, I'm going downstream...
