...They Go. Like a string of sand castles, the old political machines of the late Dictator Getulio Vargas and his heir, Jango Goulart, came tumbling down in ruins. No sooner was the Institutional Act proclaimed than the military summarily dismissed 40 Congress men, stripped them of all political rights for ten years; 60 other highly placed Brazilians also found their political rights suspended, among them Goulart, Quadros, Marxist Peasant League Organizer Francisco Juliao, and Leonel Brizola, Goulart's rabble-rousing brother-in-law, who fled to Uruguay...
Admirable indeed was the restraint of Nikita Khrushchev. From the mean, narrow lane of Chinese Communism, Mao Tse-tung has not been content to preach heresy.

But World War II intervened, and it was not until 1948 that Winnie left the U.S. to live in Europe, where she divided her time between a five-room suite at the Crillon in Paris and smaller...
Getting born is obviously easy enough. Staying alive is not. There is no better example of the hazards and agonies of infancy than Show, a monthly magazine for patrons of the performing arts that was launched in 1961 on A. & P. Heir Huntington Hartford's self-replenishing millions. In quick succession, Show cannibalized two other moribund magazine babies: Show Business Illustrated, a misguided effort of Playboy's Hugh He fner and USA* 1, a monthly news-and-history magazine that lasted just five issues. Last week, after losing $2,000,000 in the last year, Show itself...
