...territory to Peru in various wars; Bolivia, which lost a Pacific coastline to Chile a century ago; and above all, democratic Venezuela, which claims about half of neighboring Guyana's territory. In an interview with TIME'S Caribbean bureau chief William McWhirter, Venezuelan President Luis Herrera Campins warned that the U.S. "would have to bear the brunt of all the feelings of anticolonialism now rising across Latin America" as a result of U.S. support for Britain in the Falklands war. Said Herrera Campins: "The U.S. has probably never taken a greater risk in its international relations. We never...

Venezuelan President Luis Herrera Campins, a U.S. friend only a few months ago and now Argentina's most vocal supporter in South America, declared last month: "It is already clear that the country that will lose the most in this confrontation between Britain and Latin America will be the U.S." Panama President Aristides Royo has accused...

He had to settle for an appointment as Vice President in the Ford Administration, where he glumly complained, "I go to funerals. I go to earthquakes...

In a rare triple hijack, two Aeropostal Airlines flights and one Venezuelan Airways (Avensa) flight were seized shortly after leaving Caracas' Simon Bolivar International Airport. Eleven hijackers, believed to be members of Venezuela's Red Flag terrorist group and representing various leftist causes, got through airport security by passing themselves off as a band of musicians. They boarded the aircraft carrying grenades and automatic weapons concealed in instrument cases. No sooner had the FASTEN SEAT BELT signs...
