Christopher Plantin left his business to a son-in-law, Jan Moretus, and the house of Plantin-Moretus continued to flourish for three more generations. But gradually it went into a decline, and in 1876 the Plantin-Moretus family sold it to the city as a museum. Today, says Dartmouth Professor Ray Nash, "it is the greatest single source for the history of printing, publishing, book design and illustration." But it is also something more. Plantin and his successors hired the best craftsmen and artists they could find to turn their books into works of art, an achievement rarely matched...
...Wall Street, roars in the Pentagon and brays in the White House." The state's biggest and noisiest newspaper, La Voz de Michoacán, shrills away in Cardenas' best gringo-baiting style. No wonder that last year, after a visit to Washington, Khrushchev's son-in-law, Izvestia Editor Aleksei Adzhubei, spent 25 minutes with President Adolfo Lopez Mateos, then hopped down to Morelia for lengthy conferences with local Reds...

...always, the Vatican is a hot campaign issue; this time, Pope John has made it hotter than usual by meeting Aleksei Adzhubei, Nikita Khrushchev's son-in-law, last month, and otherwise establishing friendlier relations with the Kremlin. Fortnight ago, the Communist newspaper L'Unita exaggerated Pope John's recent Pacem in Terris encyclical as "an appeal for peace based on nuclear disarmament." This prompted a pro-government newspaper to crack that the Reds were suddenly "more papist than the Pope." In fact, the Vatican is quietly backing Fanfani's Christian Democratic-Socialist partnership, though publicly...
