Herter huddled with the U.S. Ambassador to Costa Rica, Whiting Willauer, who recalled an old suggestion by Costa Rican ex-President Jose ("Pepe") Figueres for a U.N. "mandate" over the Dominican Republic. Herter seized on the idea, hurriedly turned it into his proposal for an OAS democratizing committee, and presented it to the conference. In effect, he improvised an unprecedented recognition of the authority and power of two-thirds of the hemisphere nations to supervise the affairs of a single member nation if it strays from democratic standards.

A powerfully built six-footer who once played fullback for Princeton, Willauer found few facilities for recreation in Tegucigalpa, took up skindiving...
Since the Rio Quaccerique hole is thronged by picnickers and swimmers-mainly because there is nothing better near Tegucigalpa-Hondurans may well have to call on Willauer again. "It isn't exactly in the line of ambassadorial duties," said he last week, "but it is my duty as a human being...
