Inside are the living quarters-a single, squarish room with a chimneyless fireplace at one side and a raised bed platform at the other...
Something for Survivors. To keep the veterans running, a special breed of geriatric mechanics has grown up in Latin America.

Less flamboyant than their predecessors, the new pro stars are nonetheless developing into distinct, colorful personalities who are drawing the galleries as well as the paychecks.

Though racial revolution has spread across the Dark Continent, it would be easily put down but for the white men whose feelings of guilt, fear or misplaced idealism drive them to fight against their own breed." The Dallas News, while sympathizing with the extremist view, wistfully acknowledged that white domination was gone with the winds of change: "That idea may not be as dead as the dodo-South Africa proves it is not-but it is as little respected nowadays as the divine right of kings...
