Reform was the fiery charger that carried Architect Fernando Belaúnde Terry into the presidency of Peru last June, and now he cannot dismount. Belaúnde promised to redistribute land, conjured up visions of public housing to replace the slums of Lima, talked of a vast road system to open up the rich lowlands beyond the Andes. But the most emotional pledge of all-and one echoed by all his opponents-was a promise to do something drastic about International Petroleum Co., the Standard Oil of New Jersey affiliate that owns one of Peru's richest oilfields...
...take the podium. Small wonder. That's what he is. If anyone still wonders where the yellow went, Pepsodent's aggressive young comedian of 1938 is now one of the largest individual holders of raw acreage in Southern California.

...failure can be blamed largely on the character of the Valley. Like so many suburban areas, San Fernando Valley is an amorphous appendage of Los Angeles rather than a well-defined community. Its commuters drive to work, have no time to read while going to and from their jobs. When they do reach for a paper, there are plenty besides the Valley Times Today. The area is swamped with half-ads shoppers' throwaways. And to make matters worse, the Los Angeles Times...
