...months since Castro's longtime second-in-command, Che Guevara, disappeared from sight, the question of his whereabouts has haunted Latin America. He has been reported executed by Castro, killed in the Dominican Republic's 1965 civil war and fostering guerrilla warfare in half a dozen Latin American countries. Last week the Bo livian government presented "proof" that Che is, or at least was, in Bolivia, leading a Cuban-trained band of 60 guerrillas who have been operating in the country's remote southwestern jungles since March...
...army patrol discovered the guerrillas' main base on a 2,500-acre farm north of Camiri. Though the guerrillas managed to escape from the raid, they left behind a roll of undeveloped film, a book described as Che's "war diary" and 21 forged passports from seven Latin American countries. The Bolivians found the evidence so impressive that President Rene Barrientos himself showed it off in La Paz, while his foreign minister presented it in Washington, where the Organization of American States was opening a meeting to consider new action against Cuba...
Twelve-Hour Day. Balaguer runs the Dominican Republic in the grand old Latin tradition of personalismo, dealing directly and personally with problems, people-and enemies. No sooner had he taken office after last year's elections than he packed General Elias Wessin y Wessin, leader of the army's ultra right, off to New York as the country's alternate delegate to the U.N.; fiery Leftist Juan Bosch, in turn, went into "voluntary" exile in Spain.

The black market became so brisk that scalpers were buying from each other, and at one concert, 600 crashers forced their way in. The next night the Russians played; there were enough empty spaces in the hall to drive a tractor around in, and the crowd dwindled further at intermission. It wasn't that Conductor Kiril Kondrashin had given a poor concert; it was just that the exuberance...
Sociologist Caporale, who reports that similar underground churches are rising in Europe and Latin America, argues that a major weakness of the movement is its introverted quality: unless the cells maintain some connection with the official church, they may turn into inbred holiness clubs. Publisher Donald Thorman of the National Catholic Reporter, however, is convinced that the movement will not soon disappear, largely because so many clerics have become involved. "There have been innumerable unofficial movements within the church before," he says, "but they came and went rapidly because they lacked the unifying factor of a priesthood and a liturgy...
