...military barracks to discourage any wavering army units from joining the rebels. Then 1,000 infantrymen, backed by artillery and tanks, marched up to the military police barracks. Forero, disheartened by the failure of other armed forces to support him, surrendered his hostages in return for safe conduct to asylum in the Salvadoran embassy. By midday the city and country were firmly back in the junta's hands. And this week's election, broadcast Piedrahita for the junta, will be guaranteed "even if it costs us our lives...
Benjamin and Krim furnished U.A. with a happy ending by building up the independent producer to be a major factor in moviemaking. They put stars, directors and producers in the drivers' seats, a practice that Hollywood once regarded as "putting the lunatics in charge of the asylum."

But U.S. law lets Latin Americans immigrate without a quota. Political asylum seekers are tested for: pauperism, subversion, moral turpitude. Neither Pérez Jiménez nor Estrada is anywhere near broke; the strongman is said to have squirreled away $250 million. Neither has Communist or Fascist ties, nor has either plotted against the succeeding government (the ground for denying Perón a U.S. visa). Neither is technically guilty of moral turpitude...
