Puerto Rico, say the experts, ranks third in the world after Britain and the U.S. in the way the national income is spread among all classes of people.

But the Bakimore YMCA, which denied space for a birth control clinic because the Church threatened to boycott the United Fund Appeal, like the Santa Fe Mexican who was threatened with excommunication if her son attended a non-parochial...
...years of 70-hour weeks in Washington; he declined with thanks. Chester Bowles passed up the job in favor of his State Department Under-Secretaryship. Adlai Stevenson, who toured Latin America early in 1960, was a possibility, but he went to the U.N. Puerto Rico's Governor Munoz Marin was approached; he, too, turned it down because he wanted to complete his program of economic development on the island...
