...Thus the function that this pre-war Council committee performed is one that the post-war Council might also devote its time to with profit.

Mexico's famed Colonel Humberto Mariles, who captains the world's greatest riding team (TIME, Nov. 15, 1948), gallantly announced that "when teams are so equally matched, it is 99% luck." Then he proceeded to show that it was just about 99% skill. For three afternoons and evenings...
