Except for his 1926 appearance as Messala, Ramon Novarro's competition in the Ben-Hur chariot race, and a brief bit in Wilson, Bushman never appeared on the screen again. But in the last 16 years he has played 2,500 bit parts in just about anything radio had to offer, from Red Ryder to One Man's Family...
Since 1930 the dictator has averaged $1,000 a day from his salt monopoly. The national lottery, nominally run by his brother-in-law Ramon Savinon, nets $15,000 a month.

Others were new to the game of politics. Antonio Ruiz Galindo, millionaire manufacturer of office furniture...
After five months in the presidency, Aléman has not forgotten how to relax and have fun. Sometimes he goes to his house in the play-town of Cuernavaca for a round of golf (85 to 90). Recently he has spent more & more of his weekends at Ramon Beteta's Acapulco house, flying down in his own DC-3 for swimming and fishing. Usually his family is with him-wife Beatriz, .son Miguel, 15, daughter Beatriz, 14; for the present, month-old Jorge Francisco stays in the Mexico City nursery. On Monday Aléman is back...
