Until last week Argentina didn't know its good fortune. Then Mrs. Leila Drew, who writes a column "Mainly for Women" in the English language Buenos Aires Herald, picked up a bit of gossip. She was off like a hound for the pleasant suburb of Villa Urquiza. There the trail got hot. Tradesmen had played with the rumored quints, delivered eight bottles of milk a day to their parents' home.

Another woebegone figure, a chicken farmer, is discovering the literal truth of the description on his chicken feed, "Lay or Bust." The stubborn hens are exploding all over the place.
