...that make up the whole. In Chicago, Welfare Director David L. Daniel says that the Cook County rolls will increase from 485,000 at the end of 1970 to 625,000 this year. In Newark, 25% of the population is getting aid, and Essex County Welfare Director Philip K. Lazaro says: "We are on the brink of financial disaster." In Los Angeles, the case load is now above 800,000 and rising by 10,000 to 15,000 a month...
...INDIAN, the better play, was also better cast. Its New York run drew Horovitz great critical attention and a popular following. Lazaro Perez gave a very nearly touching performance as Joey, a JD-with-a-conscience who has been seduced, it comes out, by his friend Murph's mother. Michael Heit as Murph was more a Beach Boy than a tough Irish kid. Michael Hadge, the patient, Gandhi-like Indian, was eloquent in delivering his gibberish Indian talk but not quite as mysterious as we could wish for.

Predictably, the horseplay turns malicious, the Indian becomes the victim, and Joey, in Murph's absence, pours his heart out to the mute Indian. As in Rats, perhaps we are all street kids...
...were "better dreamed," and Fancy Dan, an embittered ex-convict, take their knocks with less dignity. "A little love somewhere is better," counsels Saroyan; "too much hate melts the bones, makes me cry." His scandalized commentary serves passably as a vehicle for the dramatic skills of Hopson, Jerome Raphael, Lazaro Perez, and John Karlen, if it does little else...
...years after Mexico's leftist President Lazaro Cardenas stunned the world in 1938 by expropriating $400 million worth of U.S.-and European-owned oilfields, no one wanted to put a plugged peso into Pemex. Organized to run the nationalized industry, Pemex almost ruined it; the company was a political grab bag for the hacks of Mexico's ruling Revolutionary Party. Between 1952 and 1957, according to one unofficial study, graft and mismanagement cost Pemex $113.6 million. Even so, the insatiable demands of Mexico's fast-rising economy slowly increased crude-oil production to 100.6 million barrels...
