...gathered festively at the courthouse. It was a big day: two gubernatorial candidates were coming to town to preview a political campaign that will mean more to Bradley County-and the rest of Arkansas-than just tomatoes. The two candidates are the chief rivals, in the July primaries, of none other than Orval Eugene Faubus, twice-elected Governor, center of the Little Rock debacle that put federal troops into Arkansas to enforce...

Last year Dr. Pinotti ran a pilot study on 2,000 homes. After six months, none harbored a barbeiro, though 98% had been infested previously. Last week the dung mixers were busy on two projects, each involving 100,000 homes. Said Pinotti: "No cracked mud means no barbeiros and no new cases of Chagas' disease. The dry dung in the mix doesn't even smell...
