...trucks, they battle to save themselves from anonymity and the apathy of their elders. They form clubs or they run in gangs, and some learn to gamble with violence as quickly as they learn to step out of the path of cars. Roaming the parks and roads, scavenging for pride, for some kind of self-identification and for excitement, the gangs (125 in all New York) too often base their conduct on moviedom's version of swaggering honor, red-blooded achievement. They call themselves Egyptian Kings, Dragons, Beacons, Imperial Knights, Fordham Baldies, Comanches...
...ancient glories of Constantinople were already flaking away in a slow death of peeling paint, collapsed masonry, commercial clutter and neglect. Nobody much cared.

The President alone dispensed $1,000,000 a year through the old and perfectly legal custom of confidenciales-a confidential fund that he could spend as he saw fit. With paternal pride, Castillo launched ambitious health-and-education programs, plastering the country with signs urging peasants to "Wash Your Hands Before Eating." To replace Arbenz' helter-skelter expropriation of rich plantations, he started a gradual system of land reform. But in the backlands, rightist planters scaled pay down 30% from the Arbenz...
