...senatorial elections since the end of the Mexican Revolution, 50 years ago. Yet the government has institutions even stronger than PRI for directing Mexican life and progress. These are three occupational sector organizations--labor, peasant, and popular (middle class). Almost everyone in Mexico's working and professional force must belong to one of these three organizations. Since the president personally appoints all the top leaders in each sector, he can count on their loyalty...
...traveling from Washington to the space center at Houston and finally to the Los Angeles area, will be to protect him from embarrassing demonstrations and even violence by members of extremist Yugoslav émigré groups. Of the estimated 1.5 million Americans of Yugoslav origin, only a few hundred belong to fanatical Tito-baiting political organizations, some with direct spiritual links to Hitler. Still, as Premier Aleksei Kosygin's close call in Ottawa last week demonstrates, the security problem is not merely a matter of numbers. State Department representatives have been meeting with members of Croatian, Serbian and Slovenian...
...Coloreds (half-breeds) and 600,000 Asians? The structure of apartheid, which the late Prime Minister Daniel Malan and his largely Dutch-descended Nationalists began to build in 1948, still towers over everything. No black can stay in a "white" hotel, own land or property in white areas, belong to a trade union, own a home, or vote in a countrywide election. Black political development is restricted to eight Bantustans, or "homelands"-districts set apart for a portion of South Africa's blacks, where they are gradually being granted limited self-government under a policy of separate development...
...black, gray and white, its noble struggle with monumental form and the strange, universalizing archaism (there are no bombs or guns, only a broken sword; the most modern image in the painting is an electric light, which is also the most ancient, for it becomes a pitiless Mithraic sun) belong more to the world of the Greek pediment and the Roman battle sarcophagus than to that of the Kondor Division, whose bombs demolished Guernica. But it remains a passionate and epic work, and it was Picasso's sole politically effective gesture. The best comment on Picasso's later...
...promising alternative to skyrocketing housing costs is mass-produced, "module" houses built room by room in factories where the workers generally do not belong to highly paid crafts unions. Modular construction has doubled in the past five years, and this year will account for 80,000 new houses. Some large builders like National Homes and Stirling Homex turn out modular homes that are put together like building blocks on the development sites. The nation's biggest builder, ITT Levitt, operates one of the most modern of these plants in Battle Creek, Mich., turning out one complete house every hour...
