...fighting continued, Jagan appointed his wife, Chicago-born Janet Rosenberg, a onetime Young Communist Leaguer and the colony's most controversial woman, to be Minister of Home Affairs, making her, in effect, British Guiana's top cop. Neither Janet nor her police have been able to quiet things. All that prevents outright racist civil war is the presence of 500 British troops that Jagan called upon to protect his tottering regime...
Next to the Paraguayan embassy's main entrance on bustling Calle Via-monte in downtown Buenos Aires, a small, dark doorway ducks down into a forbidding, grottolike cellar.

But the latest uproar began in April, when Cinemactor Jean-Paul (Breathless) Belmondo dared to protest that a cop was neglecting an accident victim while quizzing witnesses; Belmondo was knocked flat. During May, four prisoners detained for trifling offenses hanged themselves in their cells. There was no evidence to prove that the police were at fault, but no one could convince suspicious Frenchmen that the deaths were not caused by third-degree tactics. Paris has also...
