...first, no one was exactly sure why Wernher von Braun, 51, was visiting Argentina. His several lectures on the U.S. moon program were in such German-accented English that even Argentines who hablan inglés could hardly a word begreifen. But as it turned out, Wernher was there to listen, not talk. Argentine military and scientific brass had asked him down to hear all about South America's leading space program. Proudly, they explained that right now a mess of mice were being given extensive psychological and physiological tests so that the perfect 4-oz. moustronaut could...
Every Thursday at precisely 4 p.m., the leaders of Argentina's wealthiest, most influential-and most clannish-dynasty sit down to weigh their business affairs. The six brothers of the Braun-Menendez family, ranging in age from 55 to 68, meet in a paneled Buenos Aires board room under a portrait of their late father Mauricio. Around the table each in turn stands up to discuss the fortunes and policies of Sociedad Anonima Importadora y Exportadora de la Patagonia.

With all that diversity, they have prospered despite Argentina's continuing financial trouble. By family reckoning, their companies last year...

...theology to relate the Jesus of history to the proclaimed Christ of the kerygma. The proposal quickly found supporters, largely among Bultmann's students and disciples, who hold many top professorships in Biblical studies: Bornkamm and Erich Dinkier at Heidelberg, Käsemann at Tübingen, Herbert Braun at Mainz, Hans Conzelmann at Göttingen, Gerhard Ebeling at Zürich, Ernst Fuchs at Marburg's Institute of Hermeneutics. Initially open to the idea of the quest, Bultmann himself soon became skeptical, and freely criticizes his disciples' work...
