...ndez-Murphy Case: A Chronicle of Terror. The skillfully fleshed-out version of the story, first revealed by TIME and LIFE, made an impressive documentary-in-sound-so impressive, in fact, that CBS rushed to rebroadcast this week the suspenseful full-hour reconstruction of how Columbia Lecturer Jesús de Galíndez, a Basque, was kidnaped from Manhattan, spirited out of the country and apparently murdered because of his opposition to Dominican Republic Dictator Rafael Trujillo (TIME, April...
...entertainer, a professional yokel. Behind his hawg-trough grin stands a greedy and brutal hog, but the public cannot see the phony character for the microphone manner. "Shucks,'' stutters Lonesome Rhodes, as he strim-strams on his li'l ole git-tar, "Ah'm jes' a country boy." And soon his public stretches...
Facts poured in fast last week as U.S. authorities dug deep into the suspiciously linked disappearances of Columbia University Lecturer Jesús de Galíndez and a U.S. airplane pilot named Gerald Lester Murphy (TIME, Feb. 11). The evidence indicated that Galíndez had been kidnaped and then flown out of the U.S. to the Dominican Republic in a plane piloted by Gerry Murphy, an airplane-happy youth of 23, who then vanished. In an investigation paralleling the FBI's, LIFE this week unearthed elaborate details of how the deed was done...
Still among the missing last week was Jesús de Galindez, the Columbia University lecturer who disappeared without a trace in Manhattan one night last March (TIME, April 2). Missing, too, was any solid evidence to fortify the widely publicized charge that the Dominican Republic's long-armed Dictator Rafael Leonidas Trujillo had Galindez rubbed out for writing a devastating (but still unpublished) 750-page Ph.D. dissertation entitled The Era of Trujillo. And seemingly missing, according to stories printed by the New York Herald Tribune, was about $500,000 that Galindez had collected as the U.S. representative...
...your June 4 article on the vanishing Jesús de Galindez, one well understands that Franklin D. Roosevelt Jr. is not responsible for the disappearance of Galindez; on the other hand, he does work for Rafael Trujillo. Surely it's common knowledge that Trujillo belongs to the most nightmarish category of dictators that kills, tortures, deceives and terrorizes. Mr. Roosevelt Jr. gets $30,000 a year for recommending Trujillo to us. May I ask whether anyone is reminded of 30 pieces of silver...
