...almost the same hour of the morning that the Dominican Republic inaugurated its new President last week, tiny, tumultuous Guatemala swore in a new top man of its own. Installed as its 21st President Julio César Méndez Montenegro, 50, a left-of-center former law professor who succeeds the 39-month-old military regime of General Enrique Peralta Azurdia...
Last week should have been a big occasion for Julio César Méndez Montenegro.

He rolled up more votes in Guatemala City than...
...York, using the cabled reports from Scott and Montenegro, Hemisphere Editor George Daniels and Writers Philip Osborne and David B. Tinnin sandwiched the Bolivia story in between analyses of recent coups in Latin America and the changing role of the military. While the biggest news of the week was made in Moscow, where our cover story in THE WORLD originated, Gavin Scott and the boys in THE HEMISPHERE section felt that it had been quite a week on the Andes beat...
