...still the landlocked little nation's undisputed Numero Uno. But no swelling bands or fancy parades will mark the anniversary. Stroessner may hoist a cup of fiery cana, the local rum, with a few army cronies- nothing more. At 51, he looks and acts more like a mild-mannered businessman than the most durable of Latin military dictators. Today the important thing for Stroessner is not the tormented past, and his own part in it, but the progress he has begun to make in bringing to 1,800,000 Paraguayans a measure of peace and stability...
Trouble there began brewing among the 3,500 year-round residents in 1955 when a Harvard-based team of outside educators surveyed the island's three schools, recommended some mild reforms. To some Nantucketers, who are suspicious in principle of off-islanders, the whole idea smacked of progressive education-and higher school costs. When Off-Islander Charles H. Minnich, who has been resident superintendent of schools only since 1962, proposed similar ideas this year, the already restive opposition went out for his scalp.

Spring 1964 is the best of times for a German measles party. The rules call for lots of kissing games in an unventilated room, so that all the little boys and, more especially, all the little girls get the infection. It is consistently so mild an inconvenience that for children of both sexes it is best to have it and get it over with; one bout generally confers lifelong immunity. There is just one vital precaution. No infected child should be allowed anywhere near a woman who is-or even may be-in the first three months of pregnancy...
Grandma had the best name for the disease: "threeday measles."* The usual symptoms are a mild sore throat, a light rash, and a fever of not more than 102°. In children, some swelling of the lymph glands is common but is usually not severe. Only rarely does the virus of three-day measles lead to pneumonia or brain inflammation. But it may occasionally be fatal. Last week three children's deaths associated with the current epidemic had been reported from Chicago, and a Connecticut teen-ager had died of encephalitis. Less predictable and less understood is a complication...
