Inscriptions Typed in black ink on applied label, verso C: (Peru) 7/62 31) U.S. WATCHES: U.S. Ambassador James Loeb, here shown \ watching a newscast in the Embassy in Lima, played a key role in the \ behind-the-scenes election deadlock. Backing the democratic victory of \ Haya de la Torre, he was solidly behind Washington's rupture of diplomatic \ and economic relations when the military junta took power. Loeb, a liberal \ Democrat, is typical of the New Frontier diplomats who have shanged the \ traditional U.S. diplomatic style in Latin America by identifying with democratic, progressive force. \ Credit: ANDREW ST.
