Football Czar Oscar Nicolini (who is also Argentina's director of Post & Telegraphs) was no man to suffer such a rebuke in silence. Promptly he called a meeting of the powerful governing body, AFA (Asociación de Futbol Argentina'). To teach the players a stern lesson, AFA voted to wash out the rest of the season...
...roughest course in auto racing. Argentine papers flashed headlines on a crash 375 miles outside Buenos Aires, and another in Bolivia's mountains (where one car plunged over a 600-foot precipice, killing driver and mechanic). But the boldest type was reserved for the Gálvez brothers, Oscar and Juan, who were whisking around dangerous hairpin turns as if they had designed them.

One day last week, with 100,000 citizens of Caracas anxiously waiting at the finish line of the Gran Premio, a battered, fenderless Chevie coupe rolled down the Avenida San Martin. Out stepped Domingo Marim...
...soon afterward, the critics lambasted the institution for presenting such a bourgeois item as Oscar Wilde's An Ideal Husband. Then came an official bawling out. Today the repertory is stocked with ten plays by Soviet dramatists...
