...HARD TO SAY WHAT WAS MORE SHOCKING ABOUT THE death of Elisa Izquierdo--the endless savagery inflicted on her body and mind, or the stubborn inaction of the New York City agencies that were repeatedly informed of her peril. But while the murder of Elisa by her mother is appalling, it is hardly unexpected. In the death zones of America's postmodern ghetto, stripped of jobs and human services and sanitation, plagued by AIDS, tuberculosis, pediatric asthma and endemic clinical depression, largely abandoned by American physicians and devoid of the psychiatric services familiar in most middle-class communities, deaths like...

He grew up on the Havana docks, became a prize fighter, started as a singer when the Havana Riverside Casino fished him out of tough...
Even amid frenzied electoral strife last week, the Chilean Government lent friendly ears to U. S. Ambassador William Smith Culbertson. While the welkin rang with anti-U. S. slogans, he signed with Chilean Foreign Minister Luis Izquierdo an agreement, retroactive to May 22 last, which lowers Chilean tariffs clapped on imports from the U. S. at that time, means that Chile grants the U. S. "most favored nation status...
