...major effort, of course, is propaganda and contacts with Latin American leftists. Sino-Latin American "Friendship Societies" have sprung up in Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Venezuela and, of course, Cuba; Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador and Uruguay harbor "cultural" and "youth" groups linked with Red China; the New China News Agency (Hsinhua) had "foreign correspondents" in eleven hemisphere countries at last count. From Peking itself comes 38½ hours of powerful short-wave radio broadcasts each week -in impeccable Spanish and Portuguese-railing at U.S. imperialism, urging violent revolution, sniping at the Russians and crooning about Red China's Great...
...follow through on the OAS sanctions against Communist Cuba. Though the government had voted against breaking economic and diplomatic relations with Castro, President Jorge Alessandri decided that Chile had no choice but to honor the will of the majority-and do it promptly. Still to be heard from are Bolivia and Uruguay; Mexico has refused to break relations. "The resolution against Cuba," said Alessandri, "has to be complied with.

"I don't want to go," he confessed, "but just as St. Paul stung his flesh, and just as President Kennedy stung his flesh, so I must sting mine to fight the enemies of morality...
...m.p.h.-to deliver passengers and cargo to Ushuaia, the world's southernmost city, on the tip of the continent. More fearsome are the 20,000-ft. Andes, stretching the length of Latin America. On the 30-minute hop from La Paz to one remote mountain town, pilots of Bolivia's Lloyd Aéreo line regularly thread their way through clouded-in peaks with the copilot calling out seconds on his trusty wristwatch. And then, there are the airports. More than 80% of Latin America's 1,085 airports lack permanent night landing lights; some 75% have...
