So much for your forecast, Jim! The 10th ballot (and there were no
write-ins for Harding on this) yielded 110 votes for Guatemala, 77
for Vzla. They've adjourned now until tomorrow morning. Basically,
they are back now to the 1st ballot results, but the trend has been
clearly going in Guatemala's favour since the 6th round tie at 93.
Lots of lobbying tonight! BTW, in 1979, it took 3 months before the
Cuba-Colombia deadlock was broken via a new candidate, Mexico.
