Like two red-headed buzzards sitting on a fence, the volcanoes Acatenango and Fuego perch not far from Guatemala City and wait for a catastrophe. Twice earthquakes have destroyed the city; each time Acatenango and Fuego have picked it clean. The old capital of Antigua Guatemala has its skeletons of whitened ruins. Last week a series of earthquakes shook the country. Panes rattled, pictures fell, walls cracked. Guatemalans, remembering the destruction of their capital in 1918, fell on their knees and prayed. The shocks continued, grew more violent. The two volcanoes reared their heads. Fire, ashes, lava spouted from their...

Most anthropologists declare that a Mongolian culture is discernible down along the mountainous spine of the Americas, from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego, and it may be that the Piarros burial tradition is a vestige from an Oriental migration. To check for the Museum of the American Indian, Dr. Herbert Spencer Dickey and his wife are now on their way to Trinidad, base for a 1,000 mile voyage by launch and canoe...
...present an Equal Rights Treaty. This was the result, gratifying to herself and colleagues. Said she: "A step of great significance . . . challenge to law makers the world over." She outlined the scope of a new super-suffrage for women of the Western Hemisphere, from Hudson Bay to Tierra del Fuego...
