...representative of a country that is openly hostile to the U.S., Argentina's mild, modest Ambassador Hipólito Jesus Paz, 35, has made an impressive number of friends during his 18 months in Washington. He got along so well that his boss, Foreign Minister Jerónimo Remorino, called him "the yanqui." Last month Remorino called Paz home, presumably to fire him. On his arrival, Remorino told Paz: "Young man, you've come to take your test...
...test was an appearance before President Perón and the cabinet.

When fellow members of the La Paz Hunting & Fishing Club heard of Moores's catch, they remembered that Titicaca had been seeded with rainbow back in 1935, and that various tributary streams had been stocked off & on since then by the government.
