...liberation era" of Carlos Castillo Armas, the rebel colonel who threw a pro-Communist regime out of power in 1954 only to die of an assassin's bullet last July, came crashing to an end in Guatemala last week. An election staged by Castillo's successors to keep the liberator's Nationalist Democratic Movement (M.D.N.) in office turned out to have been so patently rigged that not even the government tried to uphold it. Harnessing popular anger over the fraud, the opposition candidate, General Miguel Ydigoras Fuentes, 62, made a tumultuous bid to take power...
...Resistance couched in terms of a city under sentence of bubonic death, Camus voiced his social ethic: "All I maintain is that on this earth there are pestilences and there are victims, and it's up to us . . . not to join forces with the pestilences." In The Rebel (1952), Camus turned to attack the pestilence of modern revolutionary ideologies: "Revolt and revolution both wind up at the same crossroads: the police or folly."

In Dos Bocas de Cordero, Batista's airmen killed 15 villagers (and eight cows). Planes machine-gunned a peasant...
...Street investment houses−Lehman Bros, and Lazard Freres−who are dissatisfied with Loew's management (TIME, Nov. 12). Lehman and Lazard figured to control about 3,000,000 of the 5,336,777 shares outstanding. Yet last week they voted only 150,000 shares for the rebel cause. A Lehman-Lazard spokesman contended that the two firms can still control approximately 3,000,000 shares. But they do not appear to want to lead a proxy fight themselves, nor do they support Tomlinson's bid to power. Actually, the bankers aimed only to joggle Loew...
