Pindling has also more than doubled government spending on education ($10.6 million this year) and has commissioned a long-range economic plan by Puerto Rican Consultant Teodoro Moscoso, the guiding hand behind Puerto Rico's "Operation Bootstrap" and a key organizer of the Alliance for Progress. Another Pindling achievement was ordering salaries for legislative and Cabinet members, thus eliminating the old system of fat "consultant's fees"-really payoffs and bribes-that flourished among the United Bahamian Party's government officials (TIME, Sept...
Underwritten by a grant from TIME, the tour will bring together panels of such leading foreign-affairs experts as Political Scientist Robert Scalapino, Teodoro Moscoso, former coordinator of the Alliance for Progress, and Wayne Fredericks of the Ford Foundation. At every stop, public discussions will be held under the sponsorship of local World Affairs Councils and universities. Starting this week in Los Angeles, the jet-borne conference will visit San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, Houston, Cleveland, Minneapolis, Chicago and Dallas. The meetings are meant for community participation; those who wish to attend should call their local World...
Next day the House passed the $312 million IDA bill, and L.B.J. gave the Latinos something else to cheer about. Into Teodoro Moscoso's old job as U.S. representative to the Inter-American Committee (CIAP), which guides the Alianza, went Walt Whitman Rostow, 47, chairman of the State Department Policy Planning Council and a man with both the prestige and power to cut through the Alianza's bureaucratic underbrush.

Renewed Pledge. Some Latin Americans are fearful that the tempered approach indicates a fading U.S. interest in the Alianza. With Moscoso's departure, Johnson made a Texas-size point of dispelling any such notion. He called all Latin American ambassadors in Washington to the White House this week to discuss Alianza problems. And he will personally sign new loans to Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and a raft of other countries. Said Johnson last week: "In my first official foreign-policy statement as President, I pledged to the representatives of Latin American countries the best efforts of this nation toward...
Brazilian tall tales may be a hair taller and several cubits broader than those told elsewhere, or so this elaborately old-fashioned bawdy comedy sets out to prove. Captain Vasco Moscoso de Aragão, Master Mariner, is in fact a master fake. Craving romance, he has procured himself a license as ship's captain, though he has never set foot on an oceangoing deck. At 60 he "retires" to the seaside resort of Periperi, with silver hair, splendiferous uniforms, and an inexhaustible fund of nautical whoppers ranging from heroic shipwreck to Arab dancers of more than Oriental splendor...
