Confederate blood boils at TIME'S comparison of Fascist Franco with Confederate Robert E. Lee. This is the absurd apogee of its consistently biased, frequently inaccurate, reports of the Spanish war. TIME'S glib essay at historical analogy, is shallow, unsupported by historical fact...
Last week two Midwestern surveys on drinking drivers were issued. Records of two Evanston hospitals showed that of 300 drivers who had been in wrecks causing injury, 24% were intoxicated (at least one part alcohol to 1,000 parts blood). A survey by Northwestern University's Traffic Safety Institute showed that of 2,000 drivers examined, only 4.2% were intoxicated.

Venezuela officials were touchy hysterics, but no worse than nuisances; the Indians were merely poor. He grew a beard, however, since without one, said other explorers, his trip would impress no one and he would never get his picture in the rotogravure sections...
