Died. Luis Batlle Berres, 66, former President of Uruguay (1947-50, 1954-56), longtime leader of the Colorado Party, who followed the mildly socialistic course of his uncle, José Batlle y Ordóñez, founder of Uruguay's democracy, by sparing citizens from income taxes (since introduced), taking control of the country's major industry (meat packing), and maintaining an extreme anticlericalism (Christmas is called Family Day); of a stroke; in Montevideo...
...EZ, It Read. The answer was no. On the 38th lap, Marshman cracked his crankcase. Nine laps later, Clark's left axle crumpled, and California's Parnelli Jones, 1963 winner, urged his Offy into the lead. But it was not Jones's day either: running low on fuel, he pulled into the pits. Somehow, a spark got into the fuel tank; the car burst into flame. Uniform smoldering, Jones leaped out and rolled on the ground; stretcher bearers carried...
Courage & Cornadas. El Cordobés' many critics consider it sacrilege to mention him in the same breath with Manolete, Belmonte, Domenguín, Ordóñez, or Paco Camino, whom experts regard as Número Uno today.

Operating out of a Buenos Aires office decorated with a scarlet rug, wildly abstract art and carved African statuettes, Nuñez has set an ambitious goal: to make Valardel the Merrill Lynch of Argentina. "We have reached the point," says reform-minded Nuñez, "where...
Higher Purpose. Nuñez' 45 salesmen are on the road five days a week to earn about $125 a month in commissions, an average salary for Buenos Aires white-collar workers. They use compelling means to part the country people-many of them prosperous from land and cattle-from their idle money. One that works best is flashing an early 100-peso bill bearing the signature of Eusebio Campos, a former Argentine Central Bank official. "That man," the salesman says, "is now one of our directors...
