That theme, however, was as rare as the position taken by Guatemala City's La Hora, which said that the President "was assassinated by those opposed to racial equality. Bobby Kennedy's agitation in favor of civil rights ended in his brother's death." Tass, the Russian wire service, peddled a predictable line. "Commentators in Dallas," said Tass's dispatch to Moscow, "are connecting the crime with the activities of ultra-right-wing organizations...
Colonel Enrique Peralta Azurdia, the head of Guatemala's junta, called Britain's promise of self-rule "a flagrant violation of the sovereign rights of Guatemala." He broke off diplomatic relations with Great Britain, and an editorial in Guatemala City's La Hora spoke grandly of war: "We haven't fought a war for half a century.

Six months ago, when she got a job on the capital's influential (circ. 15,000) afternoon daily La Hora, Irma Flaquer, 22, lost no time establishing herself as one of the government's sharpest critics. Writing to help support her two children by an early, unsuccessful marriage, the pretty young newshen in her column denounces governmental corruption, ridicules its foreign policies, champions women's rights, favors birth control, blames the Latins...
