...They don't care anything about Latin girls," cried Miss Ecuador before the judging. "The European girls get better food, and they are the ones who are photographed," sobbed Miss Argentina. Sure enough, Miss Sweden, Margareta Arvidsson, 18, was crowned Miss Universe in Miami. No pleasing some people-she wept too. "I don't want it," she groaned.
