...Confederation (C.G.T.) and the various Perónista associations of businessmen, professional men and students. In some cities and provinces, "people's organizations" meddle in government affairs, and local authorities sometimes resist the meddling. At Perón's closed-door meeting with provincial governors last month, spokesmen for the Perónista associations rapped several provincial officials for failing to pay "people's organizations" due heed. Aware that more than three provincial governments took verbal stonings at the meeting, newsmen asked Minister Borlenghi last week whether there would be more intervening in the near future.

...most active spokesmen for the Lord in the U.S. are a pretty, 42-year-old woman and her cinema-famed husband who rarely travel on their tours without a $50,000 wardrobe.

"What we want is 75 miles of blue water between the two contending parties," said one. Then, with boundaries tidied up and hostilities in abeyance, Chiang Kai-shek could be recognized as sovereign in Formosa, Mao Tse-tung in continental China, and both accorded recognition and eventual acceptance into the U.N.

...West Germans in his hatred for "the army." Youth, and many of their elders too, are trying to put a new face on old Germany-to rebuild it as a champion of peace and democracy in the free world, without arms. Unfortunately, this potentially powerful movement lacks organization and spokesmen even among the Socialists...
