Mexicans will not go to the polls to elect their next President for another nine months, but as of last week everyone knew who the winner would be. His name: Luis Echeverria Alvarez, 47, now Interior Minister under outgoing President Gustavo Diaz Ordaz. Endorsed last week by the ruling Partido Revolucionario Institucional (P.R.I.), Echeverria is certain to be formally named the P.R.I.'s candidate during the party's convention next month. Because Mexico is virtually a one-party state, that nomination is equivalent to election to a six-year term. Since P.R.I.'s founding 41 years...

They only remember that Peron put the laborers on the political map in Argentina...
...26th of July Movement could have "scored an overwhelming victory over the Communists." It failed to do so because Castro appeared unexpectedly and intervened on behalf of the Communists. By 1960 the Confederation of Labor was completely controlled by Communists. In early February, 1960, the President of the PSP (Partido Socialista Popular) publically equated anti-Communism and treason. The same month Soviet Deputy Premier Mikoyan signed the first Soviet-Cuban agreement in Havana, "amidst an official reception that betokened more than trade relations...
