...daughter in a still unfinished modern house with a $13,600 mortgage on it. He is up at 5 a.m. -"I never sleep more than five hours a night"-for a breakfast of black coffee, meat and fruit, drives himself to work in his Fiat. Because he has stuck so closely to his office, he is not well known to most Mexicans. Not until next week, when P.R.I, delegates and spectators jam Mexico City's giant bull ring to hear him accept the nomination, will a sizable crowd of Mexicans see their next President...
Despite riots and bloodshed, Chile's President Carlos Ibanez del Campo (who will visit the U.S. next month) has stuck by the unpopular anti-inflationary course charted by the U.S. economic consulting firm of Klein & Saks (TIME, May 7, 1956).

...gleaming, Santa Claus countenance of West Germany's roly-poly Economic Minister Ludwig Erhard darkened with fury. No more than four days after the triumphal end of an election campaign in which he made 86 speeches promising no price increases if voters stuck with Adenauer and free enterprise, the big Ruhr coal-mine managers' association had announced a stiff, $1-a-ton price boost.
