...This evil thing," said a harassed Argentine official, "is like a huge centipede, a giant having 100 heads and thousands of feet, favored by the vast extent of our frontiers, by haphazard legislation piled up over the years, by a lack of definite means of combatting it." Communism? Not this time. The official was bemoaning a corrupting force that antedates even Marx-the legion of Latin American smugglers who, to the policeman's dismay and consumer's delight, control some 20% of Latin America's import trade...

His conclusion: "We are a corrupted people but not a depraved one. We don't make pacts with Satan; what we try to do is to make pacts with...
...hour show in which Comic Milt Kamen tastelessly joked about the mating habits of the whale, Gregory Peck quipped that this is the year of the "Republican write-in" and the "Democratic shoo-in," Dancer Mitzi Gaynor peered down her middy blouse and asked: "Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? Tricky Dick Nixon knows...
