Replied the President: "Perfectly simple. When you have a situation that has gone on, as we have had this cold war, since 1945 . . . there must be no gun unfired and no individual...

...independent ticket. Plaza, now 53 and main speaker at the recent Puerto Rican conference of U.S. Governors, gave Ecuador its first census, developed the world's largest banana industry to relieve Ecuador's dependence on witches'-broom-diseased cacao, offered Ecuador "chemically pure" democracy, free of press censorship and police statism.
