...Sign Mistaken. To keep everything going smoothly, Lopez Mateos last year asked leaders of government workers' unions-including the railwaymen's Redlining Demetrio Vallejo and the teachers' Othón Salazar-to postpone wage demands for one year until Lopez Mateos could pay off some inherited government debts.

The milder and more insidious chronic salt depletion shows the same signs, but sometimes in such vague form as to be mistaken for malingering or hypochondria. Salt tablets (but only for those who really sweat excessively) will prevent or cure...
