...Ambassador Lincoln Gordon presented his credentials, he brought with him an invitation from President Kennedy. The same day, Goulart called in Communist Poland's visiting Foreign Minister, Adam Rapacki, awarded him the Order of the Southern Cross-the same decoration that Quadros hung on Cuba's Marxist mastermind, Che Guevara, setting off the furor that in time toppled Quadros.

These were small fry-an improbable bunch to mastermind a plot against the life of the President of France's Fifth Republic. The real responsibility, most Frenchmen suspected, must lie elsewhere.

Perez often operates out of a hideaway office in the skyscraper Baton Rouge capitol, has helped mastermind the legislative struggle against school integration. And at arousing the rabble, Perez has few equals. At a recent meeting of the New Orleans Citizens Council, Perez raised the battle cry against the four Negro girls in the city's first integrated schools: "Are you going to wait until Congolese rape...
