Last year nearly 200 criminals were found dead in and around Rio, and the death rate shows no sign of slackening so far this year. In the last two weeks, nine new murders of hoodlums were in the local news. The details of their deaths were grimly familiar. Found on lonely roads outside the city, some of the victims had their arms tied behind their backs. The bodies of at least two were marked with cigar burns. Two more had nylon ropes looped around their necks. One man had been shot five times in the mouth, another three times...
...that Indian commerce, still locked in the patterns and the fatalism of the past, urgently needs entrepreneurs. Another was that Indian small businessmen, who are suspicious of one another, set in their ways and resistant to change, make particularly challenging raw material. In several cities, McClelland and Winter invited local businessmen to join classes in what they called achievement motivation. Eventually, some 80 accepted...
...foundation's penchant for controversy is abetted by a flock of waggish personalities who are refreshingly aloof from the slick chat of commercial radio.

Still, the question of regulation of cigarettes goes much beyond economics and has, in fact, created a curious liberal-conservative polarity. The conservative Dallas News accuses "the liberals in Washington" of crusading for "censorship, pure and simple." Adds the New York Daily News: "Nuts to you, Big Brother...
...National Clearinghouse for Smoking and Health, which turns out anti-smoking tracts for civic groups. Money from the "Smokehouse," as staffers call it, has started several local anti-cigarette projects. In Bakersfield, Calif., teen-agers have been given a $52,000 grant and professional help to prepare commercials, posters and bumper stickers (SMOKE, CHOKE, CROAK). The pilot project there has been so successful that it will be repeated in several other cities this fall. The director of the clearinghouse, Dr. Daniel Horn, a pioneer cancer researcher, urges medical men to deliver anti-smoking appeals while they treat patients in their...
