His business done, Betancourt's U.S. trip became ruffles and flourishes. He pushed on to New York for a two-day stay, had lunch at the U.N. with Secretary-General U Thant, journeyed up the Hudson to see New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller, whose wide interests in Venezuela run from the Creole Petroleum Corp. to cattle ranching and supermarkets. At week's end Betancourt flew to Miami, paused for breakfast with A.F.L.-C.I.O. President George Meany, then boarded a Venezuelan jetliner bound for more state visiting in Mexico. Then he will go on to the Dominican Republic, where Juan Bosch, an old friend and fellow member of Latin America's non-Communist left, takes over this week as the freely elected President of another land recently freed from dictatorship.
