...boldest of the guerrillas is Antonio Negro, a Cuban who fought with Castro in the Sierra Maestra. A few weeks ago, Negro strolled into the small town of Saipuru, stole a truck and eight gallons of gasoline from a government-owned oil company, then fled with five soldiers as his prisoners. Last week a manifesto signed by Negro was making the rounds in La Paz, calling on Bolivians to make their nation a "strategic center of continental revolution."

One by one, the Arkansans recited their problems to their Governor, who met them privately, took notes, offered explanations. Incessantly mopping his broad face in the summer heat, Winthrop Rockefeller for four weeks has been roaming his adopted state, from the northeast, where the Ozark foothills blend into the Mississippi River flatlands, to the southwest plains, where watermelon is king. Last week he toured the Central Valley, a region studded with pulp...
