While France has been tempting Latin American governments by offering generous credits for arms purchases, the U.S. has gone out of its way to encourage more sound spending and discourage unnecessary arms purchases. To make its point, the U.S. has cut military aid to Latin America 15% in the past two years (to $65 million) and refused export licenses for any supersonic jets sold in the area. When the Latin Americans took their military orders to Europe, Washington finally gave in, and two weeks ago permitted U.S. plane-makers-mainly Northrop, with its hot F-5 supersonic "Freedom Fighters...
...what Latin Americans really need, as proved by the recent Communist guerrilla uprising in Bolivia and the death there of Guerrilla Tactician Che Guevara, are the basic bread-and-butter weapons of a fighting man: rifles, mortars, machine-guns, helicopters and spotter planes.

She waits for Burton in her car on a highway-evidently the most private place in Haiti-where they hungrily make love...
...member of Princeton's Institute for Advanced Studies, makes clear the irony of his career: he was in official disfavor first for being "too harsh" toward Russia, then for being "too soft." He was burned in effigy by Communist-led mobs in Rio de Janeiro during a Latin American tour in 1950, and burned figuratively by right-wing critics in the U.S. during the decade that followed...
