...progress, thunder blindly along the highway. Near the white line dividing traffic, a high-strung horse skitters, rears and neighs in the kind of wild-eyed terror and anguish that Picasso gives to the horse in Guernica. The symbolic question is clear: Is the untamed free spirit an outlaw that must learn to toe the white lines of the modern world or perish...

After ten days of negotiation, the Foreign Ministers Conference at Punta del Este, Uruguay, had come full circle. The 14 who originally voted to discuss the Cuban problem were the same 14 that agreed to exclude Cuba. The six who abstained were the same six who all along urged the OAS to go slow. They included the "big three"-Brazil, Argentina and Mexico-who between them hold two-thirds...
