...four-week good-will swing around Latin America, pink-cheeked Ludwig Erhard, West Germany's Minister of Economics, stopped off last week in Chile. As in Mexico, where he opened his tour by attending the inauguration of a $25 million German industrial fair, he was welcomed as the fiscal wizard who symbolizes West Germany's spectacular economic comeback. Santiago's press gave him the Page One treatment, university professors asked him to lecture, and Chile's much-regulated businessmen applauded till the walls of the Union Club vibrated when he told them: "There is no miracle...

The mule drivers agreed, and led the students up to the point, 9,800 ft. high, where they had reburied their find. The body, well preserved and wrapped in cloth, looked old indeed, and the students rushed it by pickup truck to Santiago. There the students took...
...cadets kidnaping the Navy goat on the eve of the service academies' annual football game. As soon as the students heard of the ab duction, they called in the press to claim credit for a find that "may change our knowledge of the history of the Incas in Chile." When skeptical newsmen demanded to see the "mummy," the students led a caravan of cars crosstown to the Museum of Natural History...
