He had given them some land and some justice, had made a personal tour of the back country, patting babies and cattle, drinking many a glass of cow's milk and goat's milk. But the one thing a Mexican President needs to rule his fermenting country is abounding, virile health. Last week, surrounded by enemies, President Cardenas to his disgust felt sick as a dog. Newshawks were told he had Malta fever, so named because British Navy men stationed in the Mediterranean...
