In Girardot, Colombia, James Goff, a Presbyterian missionary, charged that the child of one Protestant was forbidden entrance to a local school built by Alliance for Progress funds and run by Catholic nuns...

The ruggedness of the remains," says Goff, "indicates a muscular, vigorous male." The man also limped, had probably been wounded. When Goff found a lead ball in the bone dust, he set out to prove that Columbus had been wounded. In Madrid he verified...
