Looking Back At South America by Holmes Alexander
In aging correspondence with Jefferson and Adams, Enlightenment ideals crossed the Atlantic but never fully arrived in the New World. The author interviews U.S. ambassadors, advisers, and regional figures to weigh Latin America's path from dictatorship and rebellion to democracy, noting Cuban and Dominican events, Kissinger, Kennedy, and Johnson legacies. The piece argues U.S. policy should be decisive and assertive to uphold liberty, justice, and prosperity in the hemisphere.
