Ambassador Villa Michel chivalrously gave his own bedroom to Arbenz, who fell off the wagon and went on a thundering three-day bender, after which a doctor straightened him out with glucose injections. Former Foreign Minister Guillermo Toriello visited the ex-President from time to time, but most of the other inmates never saw him. Jose Manuel Fortuny, No. I Communist and longtime Arbenz adviser, had an urgent personal problem: his wife was at the point of giving birth. The former Health Minister, also in asylum, delivered the baby, a boy, whom Fortuny gratefully saddled with the name Cuauht...
They holed up in their tent during a three-day snowstorm, then spent four more days cutting exactly 1,038 steps up another great wall of ice. At about 2:30 p.m. on May 15, the day they were due back, they reached the peak, left souvenirs and posed for pictures-"Like at Coney Island," Argus said.

Taking time from their jobs, they made two-or three-day tours of some 40 steel plants together, talked to everyone from shop foremen to open-hearth workers, and got along famously. Last week in Pittsburgh, McDonald, who looks more like a corporation tycoon than Ben Fairless himself, presented his union's wage demands to U.S. Steel. Ben Fairless got a rude surprise. The demands were far stiffer than...
