Valardel's boss is Deltec Vice President Julio Nuñez, 38, a Cuban-born U.S. citizen who was educated at Georgetown and Harvard Law, served as assistant U.S. Attorney in the Eisenhower Administration and was tapped to prosecute the Puerto Rican nationalists who, in 1954, shot up the Congress. Operating out of a Buenos Aires office decorated with a scarlet rug, wildly abstract art and carved African statuettes, Nuñez has set an ambitious goal: to make Valardel the Merrill Lynch of Argentina. "We have reached the point," says reform-minded Nuñez, "where...
Higher Purpose. Nuñez' 45 salesmen are on the road five days a week to earn about $125 a month in commissions, an average salary for Buenos Aires white-collar workers. They use compelling means to part the country people-many of them prosperous from land and cattle-from their idle money. One that works best is flashing an early 100-peso bill bearing the signature of Eusebio Campos, a former Argentine Central Bank official.

Inonu, 80, seemed like an embodiment of Turkey's past: born under the Sultanate, he was one of Kemal Ataturk's most dashing revolutionary generals, first became...
Northeastern led, 59 to 56, and Harvard looked dead--until Merle McClung, who had been ice-cold all evening, took over. He drew a foul as he missed a layup and sank both shots; then after an NU pass had gone astray, he drove under the basket and flipped up his patented McClung Over-the-Head Special. With 2:05 left, he drew another foul while snagging a rebound and bucketed a pair, making the score...
Here was the opportunity to blow it--and Scully blow it. Northeastern moved in for the kill. Fran Ryan (who has all the pro scouts drooling, NU's publicity boys tell us) missed a five-footer. Gerry Knight got the rebound for Northeastern and missed a tip-in. Then he missed again. Bob Inman finally snared the ball, and Harvard and its most important basketball victory of the season...
