...stepped in after an inconclusive election threatened to divide the country into warring camps; when tempers cooled, Peru had another election, and now President Fernando Belaunde Terry is successfully working to develop the country. In Ecuador, the military retrieved the country from the boozy, embarrassing excesses of President Carlos Julio Arosemena and pressed on with a sobering program of austerity and fiscal reforms. In El Salvador, burly Army Colonel Julio Rivera took power three years ago; he has now been freely elected constitutional President, is breaking the hold of the aristocracy and improving the lot of the peasants. "Only...
...equally vague about himself. He expresses few of his own thoughts, has scarcely any explanation for the abrupt shifts in his career. A confirmed skeptic in the 1920s, he was dubbed "the caraboid," the name of a beetle which ejects a fine stinging spray. In his early novels, Julio Jurenito and The Stormy Life of Lasik Roitschwantz, Ehrenburg mocked Right and Left, capitalism and Communism (when Roitschwantz was republished in the U.S. in 1960, it was much to his embarrassment). But in the 1930s, he became a militant Communist, began cranking out "social realism" clinkers that glorified the Russian regime...
Last year the G.N.P. rose 7% to a high of $1.2 billion, and in the last eight months alone savings deposits climbed 26%. Some money is actually going begging. "There's one bank in Guatemala," says Banker Julio Veilman, "that has $5,000,000 in excess funds that it can't place." Certainly, Guatemala is not without social and political problems. Of its 4,500,000 people, 3,900,000 still live in the country's corrugated outback. They are mostly broad-faced descendants of the Maya Indians, and every year more and more of them drift...
Last month in a provincial by-election, Allende's forces administered a crushing defeat to the right-of-center, three-party Democratic front that brought President Alessandri to power in 1958. As a result, the front split wide open and its candidate, Julio Duran, 46, leader of the middle-road Radical Party, resigned from the race in tears. To keep his own party from dissolving, Duran has now decided to re-enter the campaign on the Radical ticket alone. But the best he can hope for is enough votes to wield a balance of power in a close election...
...SALVADOR: In 1961 opposition parties were thoroughly discouraged when President Julio Rivera's National Conciliation Party won all 54 seats in the legislature. They even boycotted the presidential election the next year. A reform-minded, military man, Rivera was embarrassed, promised an honest count on the basis of proportional representation for 1964. The opposition remained skeptical but campaigned vigorously through the tiny Central American republic. When the votes were tallied, Rivera's party retained 32 Assembly seats; the Christian Democrats took 14 seats plus the mayoralty of San Salvador, while another middle-of-the-road party...
