...land of spectacular volcanoes, but little industry to support its 2,200,000 people, Michoacán has long been the stronghold of Lazaro Cardenas, 68, the fiery far leftist who nationalized foreign oil companies as Mexico's President from 1934 to 1940. Attempting to undercut Cardenas' control, the country's dominant P.R.I, party installed an anti-Communist as state Governor last June. But many lesser officials are Cardenas supporters and strongly proCommunist. Why not? The Russians have been busy in Michoacán for years, and their influence spreads from back-country schoolhouses, where maps...

Unfortunately, this has already occurred in the hemisphere of liberty...
...fact that the memory of the Mexican revolution is so fresh and inspiring; the initials of the ruling party, P.R.I., stand for Party of Institutionalized Revolution. Although the revolution started in 1910, it did not reach its climax until the six-year period from 1934 through 1940, when President Lazaro Cardenas expropriated foreign oil companies. Since then, Mexican Presidents have turned to the right, encouraging domestic and foreign private enterprise.
