...architects of the Alliance for Progress is on his way out of Washington. He is Teodoro Moscoso, 53, the Puerto Rican businessman who helped mold the Alianza as its first U.S. coordinator. Last December Moscoso was moved out of the top job in President Johnson's general reshuffling of Latin American policymakers. Last week it was announced that he is resigning as a special adviser and U.S. representative to the new Inter-American committee (CIAP) that is supposed to guide the program. Wrote Johnson: "It is with the greatest regret that I accept the resignation of this able...
...free enterprise should work together as neatly as a pair of greased pistons. In practice, it is becoming increasingly evident that the pistons tend to get stuck. The Alianza actually works to the detriment of free enterprise, argues Guillermo Moscoso, a United California Bank executive and cousin of Teodoro Moscoso, U.S. representative in the Alianza's inter-American committee.

Berle, Speechwriter Richard Goodwin (who coined the term Alliance for Progress), Mann's first-tour successor as Assistant Secretary, Robert Woodward, Historian Arthur Schlesinger Jr., Brother Bobby, Alianza Coordinator Teodoro Moscoso, Woodward's successor Edwin M.

Returning to Costa Rica with a change of government in 1944, he became embroiled in local politics. In 1948 he led a revolt against President Teodoro Picado and set up "a republic to end the spectacle of the majority impoverished by inefficiency and social privilege." Serving as the nation's provisional president for 18 months in 1948 and 1949 and again as its elected president from 1953 to 1958, Figueres made Costa Rica a showcase of Latin American...
...first anniversary of the Alliance for Progress last year, Coordinator Teodoro Moscoso fired off a blunt message to his staff. There was, he said, "nothing to celebrate." Last month, when it came time for a second anniversary, Puerto Rico's Moscoso found signs of progress in the ten-year program for social reform and economic development in Latin America. As "brick and mortar" evidence, he noted that U.S. Alliance funds, amounting to $1.5 billion in the past two years, have helped build 140,000 homes, 8,000 classrooms, 1,500 water systems and 900 hospitals and clinics; eleven nations...
