...bringing effective action. Arthur Garcia, a Mexican-American spokesman, claims that only yes men sit on his community's councils. Felix Gutierrez, another Latin leader, notes that the L.A.P.D. still refuses to lower the height requirements so that Mexican-Americans, who tend to be shorter than other Angelenos, can join the force. (By contrast, New York has cut an inch off its previous 5 ft. 8 in. minimum to attract more Puerto Ricans.)

In 1965, it was the first large German bank to open a representative office in Manhattan. Last year it became the first German bank to join a major multinational banking combine when it helped to found the Societe Financiere Europeenne in Paris.
