...classic Latin American scene. At 2 p.m. one day last week, eight tanks rumbled up to the presidential palace in Ecuador's Andean capital of Quito. Radio bulletins soon blared the news: Carlos Julio Arosemena, 44, the country's 46th President in 130 years, had gone the way of many of his predecessors-deposed by military coup. A crowd of demonstrators gathered at the palace to protest to the new rulers; and tanks opened fire. Three persons were killed, 17 wounded. In the palace, Arosemena refused to resign at first, then bowed to superior firepower and was bundled...
...speech, on top of the growing troubles in the front negotiations, was enough for Argentina's navy. Headed by Rear Admiral Jorge Julio Palma. 46. commander of the Puerto Belgrano naval base, a group of officers wanted an end to all talk about elections, argued for the ouster of Guido as President and the establishment of a "benevolent dictatorship" that would attempt to stabilize the economy and "normalize" the political situation. Though his forces were small-25,000 navymen and 17,000 marines, compared with 87,000 men in the army and 22,000 in the air force-Admiral...
...Vote of Confidence. But always, despite the serious intention of talking about economics, that pesky problem of Cuba kept popping up. Arriving in San Jose the day before Kennedy.

...Phils don't nudge the Pirates out of the first division many will be surprised. Pittsburgh discarded most of its 1960 championship infield this winter, trading Dick Groat, Stuart, and Hoak. Big Donn Clendenon is ready to take over at first, but it seems unlikely that Julio Gotay and Dick Schofield can replace Groat. Rookie Bob Bailey will have a similarly hard time filling Hoak's role at third. But a good year by new-comers Don Schwall and Don Cardwell might make the winter's commerce worth-while...
When he donned Ecuador's presidential sash in November 1961. Carlos Julio Arosemena's chances of wearing it long seemed woefully slim. Of his country's last 20 Presidents, only three served full terms. He himself was the playboy offspring of a rich Guayaquil banker, and rode into the vice-presidency in 1960 on the coattails of President Jose Maria Velasco Ibarra. He got the top job after Velasco Ibarra proved powerless to curb runaway inflation and left-led strikes, and was turned out by the military. Once in office, Arosemena baffled his countrymen by his politics...
