...first time in 75 years of Western Hemisphere conferences, a Spanish delegate rose to speak. Spain's Ambassador to Brazil, Jaime Alba, told the twelve-day-old Organization of American States meeting in Rio: "We have always fraternally shared your sorrows and your hopes." Then he added: "The Spanish government has particular interest in making known to this conference its intention to make available over the next ten years credits of up to $1 billion." The announcement caused a sensation easily equaling the response to Dean Rusk's statement the week before that the U.S. would continue...

He has his own daily radio show in Cleveland, a side job as a marketing executive with Pepsi-Cola, another as a commentator on theater telecasts of boxing matches. What's more, remember how close Cleveland came to electing...
...After arranging his visa through the U.S. embassy, he flew away once again-this time to exile in the U.S. The departure eased much of the tension created by his return, and probably ends his own ambition to regain the presidency. Leaving Rio, the 63-year-old Kubitschek said that he would not be back until things had cooled off, which might take "a month, a year or 20 years...
