...have only three men on the governing council. They do not like the Nardone-Haedo plan for modernizing Uruguay's army, fear that it may become a tool to keep the two leaders in power indefinitely. But about the worst the Colorados have done is to try to clip Haedo's wings in a farcical attempt at impeachment-because he failed to get congressional permission before leaving the country to attend the U.N. General Assembly in Manhattan. The chances are that the impeachment trial will get pigeonholed by the Senate. The nation is beginning to feel the effect...
...upcoming bumper wool clip of 120,000 tons will mean a new boost in living standards. More than $70 million in private capital invested abroad has returned home to provide new capital and new jobs. Damage from last April's floods is repaired; electric power, in fact, had increased 35% by last July.

On Khrushchev's first night in town, knots of Hungarian and Polish refugees gathered with banners that screamed KHRUSHCHEV IS A MURDERER, KHRUSHCHEV, GO HOME, and handed out pamphlets with such arresting titles as Nikita, Scat, You Dirty Aggressor, You Bloodstained Butcher, You Bestial Executioner...
...With little sense of pace, he barely qualified for the U.S. track team. In the finals, Davis' strategy was simply to stay with the field, then run every man into the ground. Coming around the turn, he accelerated past the leaders and headed for home at a clip that seemed to have him leaning backwards as his feet tried to run out from under him. Germany's Carl Kaufmann made a gallant dive at the tape, but Davis won in 44.9 sec. to break the world record...
