...week's end Portugal's Premier António de Oliveira Salazar told the National Assembly that he had no intention of complying with the U.N. resolution calling on Portugal to "halt measures of suppression" in Angola. Salazar charged that the U.S. was serving Communist subversion in Africa by voting for the resolution and offering support to Africa's black anti-colonialists. Said Salazar: "Everything in this world is beginning to be so topsy-turvy that those who do injury are considered worthy, those who defend themselves are criminals, and the states . . . which limit themselves to securing...
...latest safari added little more to international understanding than this curious assessment of Franco and Salazar, but the Hearst Task Force was only running to form. Born in 1955 on a Hearstian impulse-when Bill decided to visit the Kremlin but did not want to go alone-the team demonstrated from the start a built-in capacity for missing the point. Accompanied to Moscow by Conniff and Hearstling Joseph Kingsbury Smith (now publisher of Hearst's New York Journal-American), Bill Hearst suspiciously searched his rooms for hidden mikes, bucked the usual language difficulties (the waitress brought sheep...

If Salazar fails to get the harvesters and their equipment through the terrorist enfilade, Angola's economy will be virtually destroyed...
...Peace, was gone, his body, grotesquely disfigured by 27 bullet wounds, stuffed in the trunk of the soon-to-be-abandoned car belonging to a disgruntled general named Juan Tomás Diaz. Outlived among the world's strongmen by Portugal's milder Antonio de Oliveira Salazar, Trujillo had been the model for every tinpot, medal-jingling dictator that ever rifled a Latin American treasury. Even as he died, he was on a typical Trujillo mission-a midnight meeting with one of his many mistresses, Moni Sanchez, at his San Cristóbal farm, 15 miles from Ciudad...
