...better dreamed," and Fancy Dan, an embittered ex-convict, take their knocks with less dignity. "A little love somewhere is better," counsels Saroyan; "too much hate melts the bones, makes me cry." His scandalized commentary serves passably as a vehicle for the dramatic skills of Hopson, Jerome Raphael, Lazaro Perez, and John Karlen, if it does little else...
Students of Venezuela's state-supported universities won flunking privileges in the euphoric period following the 1958 ouster of Dictator Marcos Perez Jiménez. The government guaranteed admission without an entrance exam to any high school graduate, and wiped out all penalties for failure except a nominal fee for repeating a course. The result was chaos. While academic standards tumbled, the university became a base for communists and subversives. They were rarely seen in class, and their ages ran well into the 30s. All during turbulent 1963, Castroite F.A.L.N. terrorists took refuge on the campus-which...
...businessman puts it another way. "This place is in no sense the old-style jack-booted dictatorship. I've worked in Venezuela during the time of Perez Jimenez, in the Dominican Republic under Trujillo, in Argentina under Peron. There is no atmosphere of tension and fear. The idea is order, to build something." That is how Stroessner sees himself-as Paraguay's builder. His term expires in 1968, and constitutionally he is barred from running again.

Numerous state supreme courts have upheld the constitutionality of their state's statutes against interracial marriages. In 1944 a Federal Circuit Court upheld Oklahoma's racial marriage laws. Since that time, however, two important decisions have challenged anti-miscegenation laws. In Perez v. Lippold (1948), the California Supreme Court ruled that such laws violated the Fourteenth Amendment. The second, and probably more important case, is that of Brown v. Board of Education, the 1954 Supreme Court school decision. The fall of the "Separate but Equal" principal has struck at the roots of all racist legislation and therefore it is probably...
...winner was Raul Leoni, 57, the shrewd, dour president of Betancourt's Accion Democrdtica party. A founder of A.D., Leoni served as Venezuela's Labor Minister while Be tancourt was provisional President from 1945 to 1948, later took over the party leadership in 1958 when Dictator Marcos Perez Jimenez was overthrown and Betancourt elected President. Leoni campaigned on a promise to continue Betancourt's successful economic and social reforms. But he lacks Betancourt's flair and almost hypnotic hold on back-country campesinos; squabbles within A.D. also worked against him. As a result, Leoni...
