...Bardot, was formally pinned on Brando. But the experts disagreed violently about whether the actor with the sweatshirt and the lyric lunkishness really could boast the credentials of a true beatnik. Certain habits are in his favor: he has been known to greet visitors in his underwear, date hash-house waitresses, play the bongo drums. In Beatnik Kerouac's phrase, he seems to want everything at the same time. On the other hand, he has been living in a pleasant split-level Hollywood house instead of a way-out pad in San Francisco's North Beach...

...delighted with the Brazilian leader's frankness-so much so that he short-circuited the usual channels in answering such a letter, sat down and wrote out his own reply. Probable result: a gathering of the hemisphere's Foreign Ministers to hash out mutual headaches-plus an enthusiastic O.K. for a Dulles trip to Rio late this summer. Even as Ike wrote, the U.S. was preparing to end its isolation from one of Latin America's biggest problems-coffee booms and busts (see below). And at week's end Roy Rubottom, Assistant Secretary of State...
