TIME (July 15, "Mexico") erred in rendering my dear President's irrespetuous nickname "El Trompudo" as "Loud Mouth." Fact is Trompudo describes more a physical than a spiritual, talkative condition, would be more accurately translated as proboscy-mouthed, trunklipped, fattrapped...
Plundered Larder. On the verboten list last week were placed all the meringue, almond paste and cream cakes dear to the palates of Frenchmen. A drastic shortage of sugar, flour, cream and butter caused the percentage of sweetening in cakes to be reduced to 10% of the contents, and the sale of all pastry to be prohibited on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

Offhand, it did not look as if there were a spot where aggressive Mr. Johnson's talents would be of less use, or where his equal talent for getting in other people's hair would wreak greater havoc with...
