...surrealists agreed that the time had come to substitute the logic of the unconscious for the deliberate illogic of Dada, but only half of the movement, including Dali, René Magritte and Yves Tanguy, used conventional Renaissance oil techniques and perspective to portray the fantasy world of dreams and hallucination. Helped by Dali's genius for self-publicity, it was this half of the movement that became synonymous with surrealism...
...efforts to get the diary, according to her version in the current Ramparts, were filled with intrigue. First she called on Bolivian President René Barrientos and planted the idea with him that her own bidding would drive up the price of the diary. She "borrowed" a key in order to rifle the hotel room of the chief U.S. negotiator; in the meantime, she wrote, the Bolivian police visited hers.

He may have in mind something like Lenin's tomb...
...small provincial town of Choreti, he is living under guard in Bolivian officers' quarters, getting the same food and accommodations and busily reading and writing, apparently on philosophical themes. Debray continues to be an un usual prisoner in other ways.
