...raise, the workers must fulfill unbearably demanding production quotas, such as sewing six belts per minute onto finished slacks when most say that it is possible to do only five. Bishop Metzger estimates that employees take home an average $69 per week, while unionized workers at the Levi-Strauss and Tex-Togs plants in El Paso net $102. That, says the bishop, "sounds more like a living wage...
THIS is a marriage that has arrived at middle age," says Italian Columnist Arrigo Levi of the longstanding relationship between the U.S. and Europe. "It needs some sexual stimulation." This year the diplomatic stimulation across the Atlantic will be more intense than it has been in years. It will take place in a changed atmosphere: the old and comfortable relationship of a protective America and a dependent Europe has given way to one of rivalry...
From a different perspective, Italian Columnist Levi thinks there is a "fundamental fear that for the second consecutive time, the U.S. will draw its own lessons from history. It applied lessons learned in Europe in the '40s and '50s to Asia and found to its dismay Asia was not Europe. To extract itself from the Asian mistake, it had to play a balance-of-power maneuver.

Two butcher knives, a machete, a pistol, a Levi's jacket and a pair of shorts were all found with bloodstains in various places used by Corona. A key piece of evidence, said the prosecution, was a ledger in his garage with the names of seven of the victims in it. But none of the blood was ever linked...
