Arguedas all but confirmed the charge by showing up in the Chilean port of Iquique to ask for political asylum. Barrientos still refused to accuse his old friend, instead issued a statement that spoke darkly of "Castro-Communist infiltration in high organs of the state." The army, on the other hand, published a harshly worded report that seemed as interested in embarrassing the President as his minister. That boded ill for Barrientos: the army's commander in chief, Alfredo Ovando Candia, a onetime political ally, is rumored to covet the presidency for himself...
...partner in realizing these ambitions became Llorens Artigas, a lifelong friend and master potter. At his kilns north of Barcelona, Miró fired many ceramics, including the 1958 murals that decorate UNESCO's Paris head quarters. He is currently working on ceramic murals for the Barcelona air port and for a West Berlin broadcasting center. He is also preparing a poster for the 1972 Olympics, and will meet this week with Japanese representatives to discuss a "laugh room" for the 1970 World's Fair at Osaka, which he envisions as a place where visitors can amuse themselves with...

Another 72 vessels were stalled at the Montreal end of the 2,342-mile waterway, and dozens more clogged smaller ports as far away as Trois Riveres, 80 miles downstream. Canadian railroads stopped wheat shipments to such key outlets as Port Arthur and Fort William on Lake Superior. Toronto shippers laid off 500 longshoremen. Executive Director Andrew W. Fleming of the Detroit-Wayne County Port Commission estimated that...
Cutting the Heart. Port authorities are even more concerned that the dispute will cause a permanent loss of seaway traffic. "The strike has cut the heart out of the seaway season," says Captain John J. Manley, Chicago port director, who estimates that 750,000 tons of cargo will be diverted to East Coast ports by this week. Such losses could saddle U.S. and Canadian taxpayers with extra burdens. Seaway traffic has lagged so far behind expectations that the $460 million U.S.-Canadian project is still losing money. The seaway has failed to generate enough revenue to retire its bonds...
