...hats of straw, 150,000 stolid Indian farmers and miners poured into an open field near the 1½-mile-high hamlet of Ucareña one day last week. Five airplanes appeared in the brassy sky, swooped down to a landing. Out of one plane stepped President Victor Paz Estenssoro, the bespectacled onetime economics professor whom the Indians call "our father."

And in such cases, doses of a female hormone may fix things...
That was the drama which confronted Mexican police last week. Quickly, the cops had quite a clue thrust at them: one of the passengers, Jose Alfredo del Valle, 44, was found hanging, a belt around his neck, from a tree in a La Paz park. Cut down and revived, he insisted: "I was just trying to enjoy the view from the tree." The cops showed a picture of Del Valle to the airline clerk in Culiacan. "That," said the clerk, "is the man who called himself Jesus Montes...
