...June. In fact, the credit was tightened by commercial banks, which regard Chile as a poor credit risk. Many of Chile's woes, however, are traceable to the government's freewheeling spending to provide across-the-board salary increases and promote "public works" schemes that have eaten up more than $300 million in currency reserves in the 21 months since Allende came to power. To keep pace with inflation the government has cranked out more and more escudos. As a result the official exchange rate has jumped from 12.5 to 42 escudos to the dollar while the black...
...even ten rows back, the words can scarcely be heard. They exist not as nouns and verbs, but as a physical mass, a hot, indistinct slur like sausage meat: ground out of the famous lips, eaten by the mike, driven into banks of amplifiers and rammed out through two immense blocks of speakers high on either side of the stage. The vowels mix stickily with the air of the auditorium, already saturated by the fume of tens of thousands of packed bodies, the smoke of 50,000 cigarettes and a few pounds of weed, forming an acrid blue vault overhead...

However, Macunaima himself is hardly poor, and anything but honest...
...meat, Nixon also removed the import quotas for the rest of this year. It is questionable whether that will make much of a difference in meat prices. On a per capita basis, imports last year accounted for only 11 Ibs. of the average 192 Ibs. of meat eaten by Americans. Imports have been low partly because of quotas and partly because of quality. While Americans savor the well-marbled steaks and tender roasts that come from grain-fed cattle, foreign ranchers generally raise grass-fed cattle, which produces leaner meat. In the U.S., imported beef is usually ground up into...
