Perhaps Not. But unemployment, crushing debts, too many children and too little food are facts of life in the city just as much as they are in the boondocks. Unskilled and unschooled, the migrants simply disappear into Rio's hillside favelas, Caracas' ranchos, Santiago's callampas, the slums that choke every large Latin American city. In a year's time, squatters at the edge of Colombia's port city of Barranquilla turned a bean field into a shantytown of crude huts housing 2,500 people. Lima's slums are growing ten times faster than...

Old taboos are slowly beginning to disappear, and while the upper and educated classes were always more adventurous in their techniques, sexual class lines show signs of fading.

...Gaulle has warned the Common Market nations, particularly Germany, that unless they can agree on common international food tariffs for meat, rice, and dairy products by December 31, the EEC might well "disappear." Last week France's agricultural minister Edgar Pisani left a crucial meeting in disgust, admonishing Germany for its failure to bargain and once more repeating de Gaulle's ultimatum. To lend credence to his threat, the French President at about the same time announced a press conference in mid-January, almost exactly one year after the conference at which he vetoed Britain's request to enter...
