Victory at the Polls. Stridently, the landlords appealed to the bishop. "That priest is a social agitator," said Daniel Perez, whose family has held the same land since the Spanish conquest. The bishop took heed. "If you run as a candidate, you will be suspended," he warned the priest. Zamorano-torn between his superior and his backers-decided to run. He won, last month...
...responsible British press paid little heed, but, as is often the case in British royal family matters, the gossip got an added fillip from a big play in New York's tabloid Daily News, which quoted unnamed "sources close to the royal household." London's own Woman's Sunday Mirror caught the ball and tossed it even higher, with a report that "priests in Rome are now taking part in three special days of prayer for the conversion of the Princess to the Roman Catholic faith."

Because of increased revenues, said Ike, "we can now propose the expansion of certain domestic programs."

Excuses may be made for childish ignorance and even for narrow racialist arrogance. But there is no excusing a cold, venomous...
...there are traffic regulations, neither cops nor drivers heed them, nor do the pedestrians, who jaywalk and ignore traffic lights with grim fatalism. There is an incessant blowing of horns, but since all the horns sound alike (apparently having been made in the same factory), the result is a constant and unidentifiable shriek, except for horns on the cars of commissars which have a slightly varied pitch, at the first murmur of which the cops switch the manually operated traffic lights to green. Says U.S. Travel Expert John Stanton, just back from surveying the possibility of Cook's touring...
