Stone ridiculed Secretary of State Rusk for referring to Latin American objections to U.S. policy at Punta del Este as "legalistic" and presented a strong appeal for "the law of the hemisphere...

Aside from Cuba's predictable rage, the angriest reaction to the decisions taken at Punta del Este last week came not from the left but from the right. Returning home from the 21-nation conference at the Uruguayan seaside resort, the foreign ministers of the nations that had been willing to talk but not vote against Castro heard from some bitterly disappointed elements of their press and public...

...seems to have an instinctive sense of how much ballast to throw overboard in order to stay afloat. He conspicuously ordered home his Ambassador to Cuba, and apparently that was enough.

...Right, particularly the military, which has always stood as one embarassing obstacle to social reform, begins already to object to the abstention. Argentina provides at the moment the most conspicuous example; the wavering President Frondizi can scarcely cope with his generals. The nation coldest to the U.S. resolution at Punta del Este, Brazil, is also a nation where President Quadros resigned partly because of the Right's heavy criticism of his decoration of Mr. Guevara, and where a trio of generals kept a crisis going for weeks because of their hostility to the substitute President's leftist politics...
