...Rica had formed a "junta for the liberation of the Caribbean." Said bald old Dominican Juan Rodriguez Garcia, who had sunk $400,000 in last summer's abortive plot against Trujillo: "The free people of the Caribbean are uniting against despots. The liberation of the Caribbean is our object...
...hardly worthwhile to find little faults with the orchestra. Van Slyck conducted with confidence, kept the players together at all times, and built the music logically and skillfully. I did object to the concertmaster's obtrusive leadership throughout all the music--in the Bach his pizzicato was louder than the soloist's.

The essential object of these groups is to arouse interest in their respective views, an aim which occasionally gives birth to a rally. Last week's "Save The Peace" meeting, although a "non-political" rally, serves to illustrate the point. Faced with the probability of periodical requests by the various groups for permission to hold such rallies, the Administration has found itself face to face with a question of policy: on what conditions shall permission to hold rallies be granted? This is a problem...
