...Bahamas, Luxembourg, the Netherlands Antilles. (One result is that I.O.S. paid only $945,000 in taxes on its 1968 income of $15.3 million.) Lately, as Cornfeld's success has led dozens of other mutual funds to incorporate "offshore," the tax-dodging criticism has lost much of its sting. Last June, I.O.S. quietly shifted its legal domicile to Canada. European bankers who once sneered at Cornfeld's brash ways have lately begun to copy his sales methods and solicit his business...
Kochubiyevsky had felt its sting before. Early in 1968, he was hounded out of his job at a Kiev radio factory because he had dared to defend Israel during a political lecture. When he applied for an exit visa to Israel, his non-Jewish wife was expelled from the Young Communist League for "Zionism" and disowned by her father, a KGB security police officer.

Violence in the streets is nothing new to Brazil, Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia and Uruguay, but all are now feeling the sting of an accelerated and often well-coordinated urban terrorist campaign. The action groups appear to be locally directed, far-leftist, to be sure, but not necessarily Communist. In fact, Moscow, pursuing its objectives in Latin America with trade and aid, often finds the radical terrorists a hindrance. In Brazil, several factions are known to be operating, united only by their desire to overthrow...
