...accept only the directives of my archbishop [Cardinal Mindszenty, who ever since the 1956 revolt has been a refugee in the U.S. legation], and he is not now in a position to give me directives...
...Quadros has burst on the world like Brazil itself-temperamental, bristling with independence, bursting with ambition, haunted by poverty, fighting to learn, greedy for greatness. Quadros cries that Brazil is a great power, if not today, then tomorrow.

...Many Latin American nations had been unwilling to move against Castro so long as Trujillo's longer-lasting dictatorship continued unchecked and uncondemned. But in the chaotic aftermath, there was danger of a bloodbath instituted by Trujillo's unproved heirs, or the counterdanger of a revolt in which a Castro might emerge triumphant. Washington sounded out members of the Organization of American States on the possibility of joint action to maintain order inside the Dominican Republic, got firm assent from key nations. As the threat of Ramfis Trujillo's reprisals grew stronger at week...
