Washed-Up Diplomats. Backing up the dailies is the rebel Radio Santo Domingo, which calls Imbert a "hog-jawed monster." Last week it broadcast a false report that Imbert's wife had ducked out to Puerto Rico and was awaiting her husband. "The flight has begun," the commentator chirruped, "and just as in the height of the Trujillo reign, it is the women and children first, and then the murderers of the people." On a more modest level are quippy posters and house organs put out by various political parties, including a rebel sheet that uses as its slogan...
These professionals live and learn in absolute informality under the guidance of Serkin and, since 1960, Cellist Pablo Casals, who annually makes the trip from Puerto Rico just for the festival. A clapboard barn has been turned into a communal dining room and studio; a second violin might rub elbows with Eugene Ormandy over a dish of veal and boiled potatoes, and everybody takes a turn at doing the waiting chores; last weekend two of the men on duty were Max Rabinovitsj, concertmaster of the St. Louis Symphony, and Mischa Schneider of the Budapest Quartet...
...rare blend of innkeeper and conservationist, Rockefeller has until now specialized in the Caribbean, building quiet, out-of-the-way resorts on Bali-Ha'i beaches with 24-carat accommodations-Caneel Bay on St. John's, Little Dix Bay on Virgin Gorda, Dorado Beach in Puerto Rico.

Then Humphrey restated in detail the U.S. case and the sequence of events in the Dominican Republic. De Gaulle said he was glad to hear this explanation...
Gruening himself has been a birth control advocate since his 1912 graduation from the Harvard Medical School, and his advocacy has landed him in hot political water. In 1936, as Puerto Rico Reconstruction Administrator, he was shocked by the island's economically ruinous population growth. Using federal funds, he established 14 "maternal welfare clinics." That August he returned to the U.S. for a visit-and found himself an issue in Franklin Roosevelt's presidential campaign, accused of being anti-Catholic. He soon got a call from Jim Farley, F.D.R.'s political general. "Gruening," growled Farley, "what...
