...firsthand knowledge of his party's lethargy and corruption. In 1952, when the government was racked by a scandal over P.R.I. officials who demanded payoffs from Mexican braceros in return for work permits, Bureaucrat Madrazo-as P.R.I. leaders privately admit today -was framed and packed off to jail for eight months. Next week Madrazo will open a national convention at which delegates representing the P.R.I.'s 6,300,000-man membership will be invited to draw up a long-term program of social and political reform. "Politics," warns Madrazo, "is a game against time, in which the danger...
...journalists must learn to play the sycophant, Stone's bald outrage at the frauds of governments and men seems pretty strong stuff.

By tossing the kids in jail, Judge Stout has now so dramatized the problem that the state legislature may soon relieve Philadelphia by opening up an old prison and building a new detention center for delinquents. To officials who lament the cost, Judge Stout snaps: "Let them raise taxes. Which is more important: rehabilitation or continued high crime rates...
...creator's death in 1944, rarely strayed from the established routine: Krazy, a thwarted idealist like Charlie Brown, loves the mouse Ignatz, but Ignatz is so incensed at this unnatural love from a cat that he hurls a brick at her; whereupon he is carted off to jail by the guardian of law and order, Offissa Pupp. Herriman injected so much poetry into his guileless strip that it was regarded by many as high art and even made into a ballet...
