...cannot understand how anyone could give Viva Italia! a favorable review. Now, your run-of-the-mill jerk armed with a typewriter might praise anything, seemingly at random--but when some of your big names, like, for example, Vincent Canby, give a film a good review, you usually figure it must have something going for it.

It was a euphoric moment, the high point of a week in which Carter moved with energy and briskness through a busy schedule of diplomatic and domestic events...
...Force One landed at Tocumen International Airport, Torrijos' troops had chased the antitreaty students into hiding, and the government had brought thousands of supporters into Panama City, including peasants from rural provinces and Indians from the San Blas Islands. Several hundred schoolchildren, wearing yellow and brown uniforms, roared, "Viva Jimmy! Viva Omar!"as Carter embraced Torrijos on a flower-strewn red carpet.
