...Archbishop Luis Concha Córdoba, 69, of Bogotá, Colombia, was born to a powerful and cultured family (his father was President of Colombia from 1914 to 1918). A shy, modest man, Archbishop Concha Córdoba is recognized to be an able administrator with a forward-looking viewpoint that makes him trusted by the Liberals-Colombia's majority political party, which favors separation of church and state...
...horseback and on foot, 300 Colombian peasants in ponchos and floppy felt hats trekked through the jungles and coffee fincas to a settlement in the Andean backlands 25 miles outside Bogotá. The men carried leaflets: "Viva the organized masses!" A Red caudillo, Víctor Julio Merchán, delivered a welcoming harangue, and the stubble-bearded troop responded with a clenched-fist salute.

General Assembly, he went on, the U.S. would soon present a new food-for-peace plan for using the agricultural abundance of the U.S. to "feed the hungry of the world," letting...
...last week, a company of Panamanian soldiers hopped into landing craft and hit the beach on the Pacific coast of the U.S. Canal Zone. Just after sunup, a company of Brazilian paratroopers tumbled out of U.S. Air Force turboprop transports over the zone after a 500-mile flight from Bogotá, Colombia. Next came 1,175 men of the crack U.S. 82nd Airborne and a planeload of Colombian soldiers. Chilean and Peruvian F-80 jets joined U.S. F-100 Super Sabres to provide air support. For the first time, in "Exercise Banyan Tree II," Latin nations were joining...
