Tide of Publicity. So far the kidnaping technique has proved to be a startlingly effective way of springing political prisoners. Equally important, it has brought worldwide attention to Latin America's urban guerrilla bands and the generally conservative regimes that they oppose. As long ago as 1958, Fidel Castro's Cuban guerrillas seized Juan Manuel Fangio, the Argentine auto-racing champion, then freed him after a tide of publicity. In the early 1960s, kidnaping was widely used by rebels in Guatemala and elsewhere to raise funds, but the victims were rarely foreigners...
Five months after the President enunciated his Latin American policy, U.S. business feels less wanted and more endangered than ever in several countries to the south. A new wave of nationalism, fed by currents of envy and insecurity, is breaking across South America. The mood finds its main outlet in anti-U.S. economic moves. Last year total U.S. investment in the continent hardly increased at all from the $9 billion level reached in 1968.

He swears revenge and years later the adult Dax (Bekim Fehmiu) helps a Castro-style Latin American leader named Rojo (Alan Badel) to survive a bloody uprising. On the way to the palacio, Dax becomes an insatiable voluptuary. According to Robbins' five-peseta psychology, the poor niño is cursed with the inability to feel-with his heart. With everything else, yes. But with that...
Last year's three alternating second basemen. Bill Cheery, John Ballentyne, and Chico Garcia, all failed to come out for the team this spring. Their absence should not hurt the team, for they were expected to play behind two sophomores anyway, Vince McGugan and Roxbury Latin's Tim Bilodeau...
