He then went after the foreign capital that he needed, hitting the money market at just the right time. Postwar reconstruction was well out of the way, and both European and U.S. banks were hunting new investments. Within six months Gutierrez...
...important post, Lopez Mateos reached outside the Ruiz Cortines ranks; Pascual Gutierrez Roldan, 55, replaced Antonio J. Bermudez as director of the government oil company (Pemex).
