President Eisenhower has failed to disguise the grim reality of Russian scientific advancements.

First stop was before the four dramatic new buildings replacing the squalid hodgepodge of the capital's old Lagunilla Market. Starting strong, Ruiz Cortines came smiling through a confetti shower, visited each of the buildings, with a mariachi band blaring along behind.

The afternoon brings more of the same. Specialties elsewhere: bath and poultice, shower in a hammock, intestinal irrigation "drop by drop...
