MEXICO CITY. France and Germany in Europe, Brazil and Uruguay in Latin America; now the last outbreak of this synchronized student rebellion that is spreading throughout the Western Hemisphere has broken out in Mexico, the only Latin American country that has allowed itself to "institutionalize" the revolution and maintain continuity in its government on the basis of a rigid, one-party system - whose strength even today seems unbreakable to its enemies on the left as much as to those on the right.

WASHINGTON- The U.S. is mounting a counteroffensive against the military juntas that within the past fortnight have overthrown two elected Latin American governments- in Panama and Peru.

Mexico: October 4th: It is a massacre; there is no other word to describe what happened to a meeting organized by the Student Strike Committee in the Plaza of the Three Cultures, in the center of the Tlatelolco district, a huge concrete and glass urban center which from now on will retain a sad notoriety in the annals of repression.
