...insistence-a correct one-that he had been one of the few British politicians to oppose the Munich deal with Hitler and was not advocating appeasement now, most of Britain's partners continued to cherish a surprisingly strong suspicion that Britain is "wobbly" over Berlin. There were shrugging Italian references to "perfidious Albion," and open questioning in France and Germany of Britain's staunchness. Charles de Gaulle flatly declared that disengagement would be disastrous unless it involved "a zone that is as near to the Urals as to the Atlantic. Otherwise," snapped De Gaulle, "what a narrow strip...
...massive infusions of foreign capital, President Arturo Frondizi has high hopes of unlocking the treasure house. He has already kicked off Operation Patagonia with a series of projects. One is a $149 million El Chocón hydroelectric project on the Limay River by a 27-firm British-French-Italian combine to provide 650,000 kw. of power, irrigate 250,000 acres of parched croplands. Another is a plan to exploit 200 million tons of 55.6%-grade iron ore found twelve years ago south of the Negro River. The government has also approved plans by Houston's Butadiene & Chemical...

Factory-team Ferraris finished one-two in the twelve-hour International Grand Prix of Endurance, took five of the first ten places. Winner of the other five top spots: West Germany's small, beetle-like Porsche. Notably out of it: Britain's highly touted Aston Martin and Lister-Jaguar...
...half-breeds, paranoid bluecoats, amnesic prospectors. Then there was the Civil Rights Western, and all the persecuted Piutes, molested Mexicans, downtrodden Jewish drummers and tormented Chinese laundrymen had their day. Scriptwriters are now riding farther from the train, rustling plots (from De Maupassant, Stevenson, even Aristophanes), introducing foreigners (an Italian tailor on Zane Grey Theater, a samurai on Wagon Train) and dabbling in rape, incest, miscegenation, cannibalism...
