...began to reindustrialize, Siemens was pump-primed with Marshall Plan money-then German determination took over. The company's aggressive salesmen traveled the world to sell a full range of electronics products. Late last month, Siemens won a $75 million contract to build a nuclear power plant in Argentina-Latin America's first. In the process, it defeated such old nuclear hands as G.E. and Westinghouse...
...generates 330 h.p., sounds like a Dixieland band, and last week propelled Scotland's Jimmy Clark, 31 (TIME cover, July 9, 1965), to a record average speed of 107 m.p.h. in the South African Grand Prix, his 25th Grand Prix victory-breaking the alltime career record set by Argentina's now-retired Juan Manuel Fangio...

The Cuban government admits that 200,000 of its 7 million citizens still residing there have applied to leave. The U.S. State Department says a million, though the latter figure is preposterously high...
...contains much of interest for a student of guerrilla tactics. Che's ambitions far outran his means to implement them. He wrote that he wanted not only to create a "second Viet Nam" in Bolivia but also to start a guerrilla movement in Argentina. Almost from the outset, however, he was harassed by government forces from without and backsliding Communists from within. His diary bristles with complaints about the Bolivian Communist Party, which he characterizes as "distrustful, disloyal and stupid." For solace, apparently, he wrote some poetry and a short story about a young Communist guerrilla who learns...
