was
was caused by a story concerning
Dominican rum and a recent picnic
on Chesapeake Bay.
A certain Cuban sugar expert who
lives at the Shoreham Hotel was a
member of the picnic party.
He
drank six (or maybe eight) Domin
ican rum cocktails and then exuber
antly leaped into the water.
His
clothes were ruined, but he still con
tinued to feel enthusiastic. The first
thing he asked when he got to shore
was "Please give me another of those
drinks."
Minister Pastoriza is a good sport
and didn't even blink when some
8
bodv at the Finot party remarked:
"Well, I’ll be seeing you in the
movies!"
Reference was to the “March of
Time” movie about President Trujillo
of the Dominican Republic. After
i seeing the film, Pastoriza complained
to Assistant Secretary of State Sum
Welles—strictly unofficially, of
ner
course.
NOTE: Pastoriza’s role is a tough
one and he plays the game well.
It is hard to represent a dictator
in the United States (a country so
baffling to foreigners) and keep
one's poise and good humor while
under fire.
DIAMOND DOCTORS
Minister Finot (as usual) had the
party well planned. It began with
whisky sours and cocktails, continued
thru white and red wines and cham
pagne, concluded with liqueurs, coffee,
cigars—and whisky-sodas. If all dip
lomats modeled their dinners on Fi
not's, much pleasure would be added
to life.
Guests looked cool in white suits.
Conversation was varied and enter
taining. Larry Duggan, chief of the
Division of Latin American Affairs,
