Like 250,000 other Venezuelans, Señorita Mercedes Urbina and her cousin, Sefiorita Elena Josefina Gonzalez Urbina, enjoy taking a modest flyer on the Five-and-Six, he country's fabulous Sunday horse-race lottery, based on a five-or six-horse combination. But since they are sheltered girls who find form charts hard to puzzle out they relied mainly on Mercedes' brother Nelson for expert handicapping in last week's races at Caracas' Hipódromo track. With proper humility they accepted his picks for the first four races; then girlish independence took over...

Under Brown's guidance, Rivera has branched out into radio & TV programs aimed at putting thousands more in the area on a bilingual footing. This year Dr. Brown assigned two more classroom visitors (a señora and a señorita) to the circuit, which now takes in the second grade. In six more years, progressing one grade...
...democrat who repudiates both dictators and rabid revolutionists. When the real-life Zapata wasn't busy killing his enemies, he found time to go through bogus marriage ceremonies with 26 women, only one of whom he wed legally. The film Tiger is permitted only one beauteous señorita (Jean Peters...
