...second. At Berchtesgaden, Germany, Jean-Noel Augert swept the slalom by a margin of nearly 2½ sec. And in the giant slalom at Val-d'Isère France, Patrick Russel nipped Augert by six-tenths of a second while trouncing Italy's lone hope, Gustavo Thoeni, by more than two seconds...
...Desert. The father of eight, Echeverria is a strong disciplinarian with a puritanical streak. He made it clear last week that he would not tolerate a repetition of the Mexico City student uprisings that preceded the 1968 Olympic Games. Echeverria was Minister of the Interior under outgoing President Gustavo Diaz Ordaz when those riots erupted: at least 33 people were shot to death and 500 wounded by police and soldiers.

The regime of outgoing President Gustavo Diaz Ordaz has also been attacked for its handling of the Mexico City riots that preceded the 1968 Olympic Games. When police and soldiers shot at least 33 people to death and wounded 500 others, Diaz Ordaz's enemies charged that the President's "guided democracy" was really a dictatorship. More than 100 students arrested for rioting are in prison, some still awaiting trial...
