...country's dollar reserves from $72 million in 1957 to $28 million in 1962. The foreign investors who might have helped stayed away-which was hardly surprising, with student riots in Guatemala City and grumbling peasants in the countryside. Then, in mid-1963, Juan José Areválo, 60, Guatemala's Communist-coddling onetime President (1945-51) and Yanqui baiter (The Shark and the Sardines), was allowed to return to stand for election.
