Under "Spiritual Socialist" Arévalo, who seems to believe that he has led his people through the same kind of revolution as Mexico's, Guatemala became the hemisphere's most left-wing country.

President Jordan could proclaim that any girl who didn't chant "I shall protect Radcliffe's good, name" for a half-hour every day would be expelled, and he would have a perfect "right" to do so. No contract, no charter, no law forbids such action. Similarly it can threaten Miss Labenow with expulsion for just about any reason it chooses.
