...three-day trip would carry risks for the Kennedys. Although the hosts will be old U.S. friends-Governor Luis Munõz Marin of Puerto Rico. Presidents Rómulo Betancourt of Venezuela and Alberto Lleras Camargo of Colombia-the latter two nations hold riotous bands of leftist students and workers, with disciplined Communists to lead them. Last week in Caracas (where Vice President Nixon was set upon by a Red-incited mob in 1958) leftist organizers in the high schools burned two cars and a bus, passed out leaflets exhorting the capital to "receive Kennedy as it did Nixon...
...void; so much so that Rex Regis, a vice-President, must call upon Plantagenet to psychoanalyze Nathan, and persuade Him that He can in fact control His planet in His own way. And that the Doctor does, with what an earlier school of reviewing would call many riotous consequences...
West Side Story is a resetting of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet in the race-riotous slums of Manhattan's Upper West Side. Romeo (Richard Beymer) is a white boy, idol of a teen tong called The Jets.

...army and air force officers, pleas from across the nation for his return, and Quadros' final surrender to the popular will-after the parties released him from all commitments. The timing and execution of last week's resignation showed similar calculated recklessness. There were a few riotous demonstrations, including the stoning of the U.S. embassy in Rio* by 200 students. Foreign Minister Afonso Arinos urged Congress to "refuse the resignation, or else there will be chaos and civil war." And across Brazil, the pleading began for Quadros to return-presumably on his own terms again. His resignation would...
