...minimize criticism, Arévalo protests, "I am a Christian and an idealistic anti-Marxist." He insists that "I am not anti-American. I oppose the American Government when it turns into a protector of American corporations." He still fumes that the United Fruit Co. runs Guatemala, but promises that "we plan to maintain free enterprise in agriculture, industry, culture and commerce...
...that women should dedicate themselves to something '"more meaningful" than marriage and motherhood is the symptom of a sick mind. Feminists like Mrs. Bunting are unwilling to face the fact that fundamental biological differences have forever determined the relationship between the sexes-the man as father, provider and protector, and his mate as mother, companion and helpmeet.

"Lifesaving kits" contain a salve supposed to cause radiation to ricochet harmlessly off the body; in fact, no salve, ointment or grease has the slightest value as a fallout protector (neither does any of several brands of "antiradiation pills").

Last fall in Baltimore, American Leaguer Larry Napp was struck by three successive pitches-one on the mask, two in the groin-and had to be carried...

In the 31st year of the Era of Trujillo, Generalissimo Doctor Rafael Leonidas Trujillo Molina. 69, Benefactor of the Fatherland, Rebuilder of the Financial Independence of the Republic, Father of the New Fatherland, Chief Protector of the Dominican Working Class, Genius of Peace, was gone, his body, grotesquely disfigured by 27 bullet wounds, stuffed in the trunk of the soon-to-be-abandoned car belonging to a disgruntled general named Juan Tomás Diaz. Outlived among the world's strongmen by Portugal's milder Antonio de Oliveira Salazar, Trujillo had been the model for every...
