Good Morning, Professor. Provincial Criminal Investigation Director Benito Ibanez listened to the gossip and sent a few men around for a routine snoop. When they got nowhere Ibaez sallied forth with 70 armed cops and barged into the larger of the two houses gun in hand, ready for anything. Not even Ibanez was prepared for what he saw. Flanked by a Red star bearing the hammer and sickle, a tall, mustachioed teacher was holding class for some two dozen adult students. Ibanñez had stumbled onto the "Aurora" college-an international center for training Communist propagandists...
...Behind him, Alessandri left three other also-rans, who had little chance. All told, they polled only 40% of the total 1,227,575 vote. Chile's staggering economy provides the kind of black-and-white issues that favored Conservative Alessandri and Socialist Allende. Though outgoing President Carlos Ibanez struggled to hold the shoestring republic's frayed economy together, he leaves 170,000 unemployed out of a 2,000,000-man labor force, 1,000,000 homeless, a 10% slump in industrial production, an external debt of $718 million. Defeated Socialist Allende missed not a drumbeat. He promised...
...threats to resign, and there are hopeful signs of recovery. Paraguay's President Alfredo Stroessner, reinaugurated last week, has stabilized the currency, balanced the budget and held the rise in cost of living to a low (for Paraguay) 1% per month.

Blood and Sand, when at a party he met pious, vixen-toothed Actress Nita ("Nixie") Naldi, who screamed forthwith: "You Bolshevik! You heathen! . . . You worm! You Pagan! You anti-Christ!" Ibanez shrilled back so excitedly that his -'upper plate fell out of his mouth into Nixie's bosom." Whereupon the hostess, "who had hoped for a stimulating evening, but not this stimulating, quickly reached down into Nixie, pulled out the teeth, rinsed them in the punch bowl, and pushed them back into...
Despite riots and bloodshed, Chile's President Carlos Ibanez del Campo (who will visit the U.S. next month) has stuck by the unpopular anti-inflationary course charted by the U.S. economic consulting firm of Klein & Saks (TIME, May 7, 1956). This year, as signs of success multiplied, the program took a terrible blow: the price of copper-source of 30% of all government revenues-fell 35%. New pleas to ease the belt-tightening program poured in, but crusty old (80) Austerocrat Ibanez held firm. Said he: "I am a man without a future. But we need to keep this...
