...Guatemala, Correspondent Rosenhouse toured the front, where troops rebelling against President Miguel Ydígoras Fuentes were battling the regular army. He found no sign of direct Castro support to the rebels as Ydígoras claimed. When he tried to dispatch his story, Ydígoras' police tossed Rosenhouse into solitary for five hours in a windowless adobe cell. After the U.S. consul pleaded Rosenhouse's case, Ydígoras finally hauled the correspondent onto the carpet for a bit of bland but pointed advice: follow the government line-or else.

A possible reason for the relative success of the Dudley seminars is that some of them are open to married students' wives--two of the 14 regular participants in one seminar are wives...
These trends in enrollment point to a possible argument against the House program, for at pesent a sizable amount of money is being spent on a small number of students, most of whom are either receiving regular tutorial or are joining seminars for motives apart from intellectual curiosity.
