...Park "should shed his belief in the almightiness of bayonets" before condemning "the students' belief in the almightiness of demonstrations." Nevertheless, at week's end, Park's police arrested 53 university students and three prominent retired generals, all former members of Park's 1961-1963 junta. In cracking down, Park was well aware that the regime of ex-President Syngman Rhee was overthrown by demonstrations in 1960. As truckloads of soldiers patrolled the streets to crush further uprisings, it was evident that Park intended to avoid a similar fate...
...provisional government; yet rebel youths were taking daily training in street fighting and guerrilla warfare-under the leadership of men of the Castroite 14th-of-June group.

Meantime, Junta General Antonio Imbert Barreras and Rebel Colonel Francisco Caamaño Deñó were holding their fire. Not so the new scandal press. After having its fun with General Palmer, Patria (which claims 7,000 readers) ran a picture of a Dominican beauty dancing cheek to cheek with a "Yankee invader." Read the caption darkly: "She will pay for her collaboration." The soldier...
...told "exclusive," Patria announced that "Hitler and his Nazi assassins were disciples of the Yankees. The Yankees have shown themselves to be better teachers of crime than Trujillo." La Nación, the official four-page tabloid voice of the rebel government, can be almost as shrill. It attacks junta troops as "genocidas" and "torturers...
