Panama: Danger Zone (2R)

In November, 1959, on the anniversary of Panamas's independence, thousands of Panamanians demonstrated against the U.S. and tried to force their way into the Canal Zone. The Stars and Stripes had flown unchallenged over the Panama Canal for the last half-century. Yet there, in the Republic of Panama, a country whose friendship we had taken for granted since its birth, the Panama Canal had become a danger zone.
