The house, placed at Trotsky's disposal by the wife of Mexico's Trotskyist painter, Diego Rivera, is elaborately wired to sound warnings of intruders. At night it stands out like a three-alarm fire in dim-lit, sleepy Coyoac...

Today the trend, observable particularly in new TVA towns in the South, and in such Government developments as Greenbelt in Maryland, is toward community churches, one to a locality.
