...other failings his regime might have, Argentine Dictator Juan Carlos Ongania could fairly claim that he had given his country "a climate of work, of tranquillity, of peace" since he took over 35 months ago. Last week Argentina's placid surface was shattered, as riots spread through the nation's largest cities. The demonstrations pitted an alliance of students and workers against the army-posing the severest test yet for Ongania's rule...
...late John Foster Dulles hoped for. It has probably deterred Chinese expansionist impulses, although to what extent is unknown; the strength of such impulses has never been clear. One possible result of the policy is Peking's intense hostility toward America: the world's most populous nation (750 million people) seems convinced that the world's most powerful is bent on destroying it at the first chance. It cannot be proved, of course, that a different U.S. attitude would have produced a different mood in China. But as Richard Nixon observed during last year's campaign...

Young explained to us before the trip began that "I felt that before I really unleashed all my feelings about the media, I really ought to make one more try." He called it a "sensitizing tour," and organized it partly to convince the national press that he has moved the league into a position of greater militancy and cooperation with grass-roots black movements. Far more important, he wanted to expose this group to the physical setting, the chaotic swirl of self-help activity and the continuing problems of the nation's depressed areas. The result was a bewildering...
