President Bosch had entered office last February amid emotional hopes. A left-of-center intellectual and a longtime enemy of the brutal Trujillo dictatorship, he announced sweeping plans for reform. He put an end to the country's police-state atmosphere, cut government spending, and made a start on agrarian reform. But he proved to be an inept politician, stubbornly refusing to compromise.

What did Roosevelt do with the $30.000 retainer he received when he was an attorney for Tyrant Trujillo's Dominican Republic regime seven years ago? The money went to Roosevelt's New York law firm, and F.D.R. Jr. got his share as a partner. Anyway, Junior now felt that "I would have been just as well off without that client." What about Junior's five traffic...
