Last week, assured by House leaders that the surtax would be continued into the fiscal year beginning July 1, the President confidently predicted that its impact-and that of other fiscal measures-would be felt in "two or three months."

Children watch the scenes of brutality and carnage wide-eyed, with little fear; a Mexican mother nurses her child by holding her bandolier aside, the baby's tiny fists pressed...
