...weeks ago, while covering the Cross-Laporte case, Montreal Correspondent Vincent Carlin discovered that his best sources were disappearing behind bars. Last week he interviewed Pierre Bourgault, a nonviolent Quebec separatist who had been picked up, interrogated and released twice in one day. Our correspondents in Latin America have been covering the recurring story of kidnaping and terrorism for many months. Searching out Uruguay's Tupamaros is particularly trying, says Montevideo Stringer Eugenio Hintz. "You know all the time that they are around you, and you might be speaking with one without knowing it. You get the confirmation only...
...lost on a strapping, green-eyed Brazilian mulatto named Carlos Marighella. A longtime Communist and former member of Brazil's congress, Marighella had no quarrel with Guevara's goal of overthrowing the established order-just with his tactics. Marighella believed that the proper approach was to terrorize Latin America's crowded and vulnerable urban areas. It is easier, he reasoned, to fade into a teeming city than to elude an army patrol in a rural district where the peasants distrust all strangers.

Some of the hardest-hit youth groups have been the Vietnamese Patriots, an organization of students from South Vietnam who are sympathetic to the NLF; Cartier Latin, a student newspaper of the University of Quebec which published the FLQ manifesto before its reading on Montreal radio; and the American Draft Resistance Committee...
...Last week financial misfortune struck the second largest offshore investment complex, Gramco Management Ltd. and its USIF,* Real Estate. Swamped by the equivalent of a run on the bank, the directors of the Nassau-based USIF "temporarily" suspended sales and redemptions, thus freezing the assets of 23,000 European, Latin American and Asian investors who had put up $276 million. The closedown leaves the future of the fund in considerable doubt; to some degree, it also tarnishes the more than 350 other funds that operate in similar fashion from foreign tax havens beyond the regulatory reach of countries where they...
