...pamphlet, referring to last month's unarmed leaflet-dropping run to Havana from Florida by Castro's ex-Air Force Chief Pedro Luis Diaz Lanz, went out in more than 100,000 English-and Spanish-language copies for worldwide distribution. "Inaccurate, malicious and misleading," answered an official U.S. note, "An offensive brochure." The Castro lies served the Communist purpose well.

A woman, Maria Lavalle Urbina, runs the federal prison and parole board; Francisca Dolores Valdes de Lanz Duret is president and manager of Mexico City's good grey daily, El Universal. In Mexico City alone there are more than 225 women lawyers; across the nation there are over 1,000 chemists. At the National University, women studying to be veterinarians outnumber men; the dental school is 30% female...
