With Understanding. Neither the State Department nor the Governor were surprised by the wave of Latin American protest and rebuff. Rockefeller had not expected cancellations, but he treated them with understanding. "As one Latin American said to me, 'You've gotten us off the back pages and onto the front page in the United States,'' the Governor told TIME last week. He added: "After the past six or seven years, without strong and clear policy direction on the part of the U.S., our relations have seriously deteriorated.

Wandering into the kitchen, Srodes was amazed to discover Helms' speech being amplified through a kitchen intercom so that the help would know when to clear tables without disturbing speakers. In his talk, Helms described Ho Chi Minh as "an utterly cold-blooded...
...Pope Brock, is no traditional Charming himself. He's best likened to Judy Collins's "Hard Lovin' Loser"--"He's the kind of guy puts on a motorcycle jacket and he weighs about a hundred and five." But like the Loser, he comes through in the end to rebuff Mama's cocoa for the tomboy he loves...
