...Establish a common market that will ultimately unite Latin America from Mexico to Argentina in one huge free-trade zone. Under the plan, the Latin American Common Market will begin operation in 1970, gradually lower tariffs until by 1985 goods will flow unimpeded throughout the entire area. As a companion piece, the Presidents also intend to establish a Latin American stock market so that people in one country can easily invest in enterprises in other countries...
Ever since the elections in February, when the Congress Party lost 96 seats in the Lower House of Parliament, the opposition has been maneuvering to overcome the government's tenuous 17 vote majority.

Painters raced about slapping on fresh coats of color over the scratched, graffiti-scarred hallways. Laborers hurried to load heaps of rubble into waiting dump trucks. Their progress was relayed by three...
...obvious facts about selection is that most Presidents ignore the perennial cry that only lower-court judges should become Supreme Court Justices (the Constitution does not even require that Justices be lawyers, though no nonlawyer has ever made it).
