By the time Perón's election and inauguration were over, Don Alberto had become a permanent house guest in the presidential residence. The Perón government threw almost all its shipping contracts to him, lent him money to buy more ships, granted him many another fat favor. It went all-out on a long-ignored demand for indemnity on a Dodero ship that had been sunk by the Nazis in 1940. In addition...
...money. He bought a yacht, a plane, a fleet of cars, elaborate homes near Buenos Aires and Montevideo, in New York, London, Paris and Cannes.

As Japan's holy city, and a second-rate target to boot, Kyoto escaped bombing. Last week, amid spring's pink and white cherry blossoms, Kyoto seemed full of changeless charm. But beneath the surface stirred the changes of postwar U.S. occupation and tutelage. Surveying the scene...
...tell him that heretical doctrines were being taught. Joined by a teacher in Boston College High School, they next wrote a letter to the Pope himself. Then the four wrote to the General of the Jesuit order in Rome. Students in Boston College classes, they said, were being taught "implicitly and explicitly" that: 1) salvation can be won outside the Roman Catholic Church; 2) a man can be saved though he does not hold that the Catholic Church is supreme among churches; 3) a man can be saved without submission to the Pope...
