...weeks ago they flew as thickly as fat Dominican mosquitoes when President Joaquin Balaguer sacked the top men in his air force, national police and military staff. Though Balaguer likes to juggle the top ranks occasionally as a regular matter, word of widespread plots and intrigue spread through Santo Domingo. When asked about it at a press conference, the sober little President allowed himself a rare smile.

Balaguer's easy, confident answer demonstrated not only how well his 14-month government has taken hold, but also that most rumors of plots in Santo Domingo these days are, in fact, just rumors. The tiny country, which occupies two-thirds of an island, still faces serious problems and is living from month to month. Even so, it is more stable, united and optimistic than at any time since Dictator Rafael Trujillo was gunned down by assassins...

On the Middle East, he was strictly Aleks in Wonderland. Israel was the "unbridled aggressor," guilty of "unprecedented perfidy" and encouraged, of course, by the U.S. He likened Israel's actions to "the heinous crimes perpetrated by the fascists during World War II." Demanding U.N. condemnation of Israeli aggression, immediate and unconditional withdrawal...

...Dominican Republic, the hemisphere's most explosive spot, there were bothersome new signs of unrest. Red China is claiming that Mao-think is inspiring the Dominican masses to revolt. More realistically, President Joaquin Balaguer puts the blame on Castro. After a number of shootings and bombings in Santo Domingo, Balaguer last week ordered army and naval units into the city to hold down violence, went on the radio to warn that hundreds of Communists are trying to foment a revolution to overthrow his ten-month-old regime and to topple the country into another civil...
