Sluggishness in housing sales has hurt lumber dealers, whose failures are up 15% from a year ago. The rise of the discount house has led to a 14% increase in bankruptcies among Main Street haberdashers, and lagging sales of durable goods have spurred a 22% rise in failures of small fabricators of iron and steel. Hardest hit are wholesalers of all kinds, with failures up 23%, because more and more retailers are buying directly from manufacturers to "cut out the middleman...
...leftist and nationalist road blocks, Frondizi opened the government-monopoly oilfields to private foreign companies; in two years they produced so much oil that Argentina no longer spends $300 million annually on petroleum, even has the beginnings of an exportable surplus. Frondizi is unloading wasteful, government-run enterprises from lumber mills to shipyards, has ordered featherbedders slashed from the government's railways. Foreign currency reserves are up sharply; unemployment is virtually wiped out. At the end of three hours and 20 minutes of talk, Kennedy was visibly impressed with both Frondizi and his record.

And at night: the goose-pimpling patter of rain on the canvas that wakes a child, the stark clarity of detail in the tent when lightning flashes...
...smell of money clung especially to the person of handsome Senator Gil Puyat, 53, whose family fortune is estimated at $17 million, and who deals in mines, lumber, furniture and oil. Puyat's campaign manager assured the popeyed delegates-many of whom were provincials on their first visit to the capital-that the Senator will devote three years' income, or $4,500,000, to election expenses if he is nominated for Vice President. In the hotel lobbies, smiling Puyat leaders reportedly passed out 100-peso bills ($50). Happy delegates carousing at the lavish Bayside nightclub had their checks...
