Tin exports account for 78% of all Bolivia's foreign exchange, and tin miners are thus a potent group that strikes frequently. During one protest against Barrientos in 1967, the President went down into the mines to confront them. An angry miner held out a dynamite stick and, to scare the President, threatened to blow the assemblage higher than Bolivia's Andean Altiplano. Barrientos grabbed the stick, held it out to be lit and called the miner's bluff. Last year Barrientos took charge in the jungle...

One action approved in Tulsa last week was the creation of a 16-man committee, led by Methodist Bishop James K. Mathews of Boston, to study ways of reorganizing the council itself. Among the proposals the group will consider is whether to turn over some of the Geneva secretariat's functions to regional or national offices.

"Induce people all to want the same thing, hate the same thing, feel the same threat, then their behavior is already captive...
...that independent schools can offer. Removed from the tensions of the city, white student and black, Jew and gentile, could learn to live together while respecting and learning from each other's heritage. At Mount Hermon, for example, where 50% of the students receive some financial aid, minority groups of all sorts are unusually well represented. "The trouble is," said one black student, "we're all one big happy group. No one is black or white; we're all Mount Hermon boys...
