...aside in favor of OAS-supervised elections, Caamaño answered with a flat no. The most he would do was appoint a six-man team to talk to the OAS. On the rebel team, interestingly enough, was Antonio Guzmán, who was once regarded as a possible neutral choice to head an interim government. The rebel demands made most of the negotiations academic: 1) restoration of the 1963 constitution written under deposed President Juan Bosch, 2) recognition of Bosch's legislature, 3) "constitutionalist" control of the Dominican military, 4) formation of a government of "democratic personalities...
...some Machiavellian plan uncovered by intrepid reporting. Had the revolution been in danger of being taken over by Communists as President Johnson claimed? One CBS man had his doubts because he had seen "dozens of lawyers" among the rebels, "marching in their robes of office." Were U.S. troops neutral, as U.S. policy ordered?

He ticked off the seconds by pounding on the ring mat with a wooden mallet. When McDonough reached twelve, he quit. Liston was still on the floor, and Clay was still in the middle of the ring. Unable to pull Cassius away, Referee Jersey Joe Walcott, who seemed even more confused than the spectators, gave...
...North Viet Nam. Explaining the vague communiqué to reporters, Shastri claimed that the Kutch dispute was not mentioned because Russia did not want to interfere with British diplomatic efforts at settling the squabble. The joint silence over Red China's latest atomic explosion, he said, reflected "a neutral attitude...
