...beauty of The Kentuckian is not in the raw yarn, but in the loving country touch with which it was homespun. The script, taken from The Gabriel Horn, a novel by Felix Holt, was put together by A. B. Guthrie Jr., who has published, in The Big Sky and The Way West, two excellent books on the winning of the West. By his skillful doing, the wheezy conventional apparatus of the Hollywood western-all the bang-bang and fistic shindy-is merged in the green world of quiet woods and early custom, like a shiny, store-bought backwoods still that...
...Velasco Ibarra. Just to be on the safe side, President Rojas took with him a huge retinue of 115 Cabinet ministers and officials, including all the friends and foes of consequence who might dream of plotting behind his back. Rojas installed an Acting President (his old army pal, General Gabriel Paris) with a whole new Cabinet for the Saturday-to-Monday absence, and, as a final precaution, ordered all Bogota bars and taverns closed while he was away...

Perón last week employed a familiar technique: lightening ship by throwing overboard once useful cronies.* Out went the two front men of his anti-church campaign: Minister of Interior Angel Gabriel Borlenghi (who departed in haste to Uruguay) and Minister of Education Armando Méndez San Martin.

The boom got under way soon after World War II, but the event that proved the market's strength, art dealers now agree, was the sale of Department Store Tycoon Gabriel Cognacq's collection on May 14, 1952. Before the day was over the auctioneer had heard closing bids totaling 305 million francs ($871,428), a postwar record. In last month's Paris auctions, the steadily rising market raised a question: it was not how sound is the boom, but how high will...
...degree boxed in the No. 1 general, that the revolt had cost Perón some of his power. But if the Cabinet included Perón's chosen cronies-Minister of Education Mendez San Martin, a spark plug of the anti-church campaign; Minister of Interior Angel Gabriel Borlenghi, the old Cabinet's boss policeman; and Minister of Technical Affairs Raul Mende, top political hatchetman-then Perón would be announcing to the world that he was firmly and defiantly back in full control...
