After a police roundup jailed 300 homosexuals in one night last week, Buenos Aires' well-coached press promptly drew the moral the government wanted: sex-deviation was on the increase in Argentina, and the obvious answer to the problem was legalized prostitution. One newspaper also blamed the country's 1936 ban on licensed bordellos for "the recrudescence of shameful attacks on women." A few days later, Strongman Juan Perón cracked open the 1936 law with a decree authorizing provincial and local authorities to permit brothels "in suitable places."* Whether or not Perón was sincere...
Yards Gained. The U.S. needed all its strength and confidence to handle 1954's struggle with Communism, which has been the overriding issue of every year since 1945.

He drew and painted on everything, from glass to burlap, and always with iron control. Klee's demons almost never failed him; he had them under the yoke of wit and taste...
...Academy Awards, sold more than $10 million worth of merchandise. It also made Dopey, the seventh dwarf, the darling of millions,* and Disney himself more than ever the darling of the intellectuals. Harvard and Yale awarded him degrees. People called him "the poet of the new American Humanism," and drew Chaplinesque morals about Mickey as "the symbol of common humanity in its struggle against the forces of evil...
