Aircraft Corp.'s plant in Fort Worth, newsprint in the piny-woods country at Lufkin, saddles and cowboy boots in scores of small shops, and women's sport clothes in Dallas' burgeoning garment business. The West Texas town of Monahans (pop. 7,000) is popularly believed to produce the nation's healthiest and most intelligent trained fleas...
...actively directed, the most widespread and relentless attack on press freedom that modern Argentina has ever seen. In that time his favorite congressional hatchet man, José Emilio Visca, onetime butcher, has closed 58 newspapers and magazines outright.

In Cordoba, inspectors found the printing plant of the firmly anti-Peronista Jesuit daily Los Principios "insanitary," and peremptorily padlocked it. This week Los Principios and Clarin had been allowed to resume publication, but a congressional committee closed the Communist daily La Hora, charging...
