...municipal elections last week, Papandreou's more liberal policies toward the left were put to the test, and the ruling Center Union emerged the principal loser. Leftist and pro-Communist candidates running under the banner of the United Democratic Left Party or as independents won more than half of the 230 mayoralty races. And it was mostly at the expense of Papandreou's follow ers. Most embarrassing to the government was the balloting in Athens, where 1,850,000 of Greece's 9,000,000 people live. There Pausanias Katsotas, a minister in Papandreou's Cabinet...
Melting Typewriter. The canonization of pop art had been rumored for weeks, and Pop Art Dealer Leo Castelli had campaigned assiduously for the winner. Nevertheless, the European critics fumed. Paris' Combat said the prize to Rauschenberg was "an offense to the dignity of artistic creation." Rome's pro-Communist Paese Sera called it "a grotesque Biennale," and the Vatican's L'Osservatore Romano editorialized on "the total and general defeat of culture...
Leader of the Revolutionary Committee was Rightist General Kouprasith Abhay, 38, a fervent anti-Communist and pillar of the local Rotary Club who won 1960's Battle of Vientiane; he thus blocked the neutralists and pro-Communist Pathet Lao, only to have his victory stalemated by the 1962 Geneva agreement that established Laos's neutralist regime. The coup leaders were a pair of strange birds, even for the wild aviary of Southeast Asia: Kouprasith is a nervous strongman with a pet baby elephant, an incipient ulcer and a reliance on sedatives; Siho plays the dandy, wears three gold...
...display of distrust was understandable, for the huddle brought together, for the first time in a year, the leaders of the country's three warring factions: Neutralist Premier Souvanna Phouma, pro-Communist Pathet Lao Chief Prince Souphanouvong, and General Phoumi Nosavan, boss of the right-wing forces. Prompted by Souvanna Phouma, the "summit" was to discuss how the Pathet Lao might be brought back to Souvanna's coalition government-which the Reds fled when new fighting broke out a year...
Governor Carlos Lacerda of Guanabara (Rio de Janiero), a bitter enemy of Goulart who backed the coup, insists this is not enough. He wants the Congress purged of its "pro-Communist elements," namely the Labor Party congressmen. If he and his allies gain ascendancy as the new government takes shape--it must select a new President within thirty days--Brazil will have a period of repressive anti-leftism which could set off, in turn, a bloody and popular leftist revolution...
