Fortunately, her desolate widowhood proves brief. Her second husband is Dr. Teodoro, a hard-working druggist and part-time bassoonist. A man moderate in everything, he makes love to his wife on Wednesdays and Saturdays-with an optional encore on Wednesday. She thinks she is content, until she enters her bedroom and finds Vadinho stretched out naked.

Neatly Dressed. An even more challenging experiment in reinforcement therapy was begun eight years ago by Psychologists Teodoro Ayllon and Nathan Azrin at Anna State Hospital. In a ward of 46 chronic female schizophrenics and mental defectives, they exposed patients to the pleasures of cigarettes, television, a choice of roommates, social events and even walks around the hospital grounds.

Next day the House passed the $312 million IDA bill, and L.B.J. gave the Latinos something else to cheer about. Into Teodoro Moscoso's old job as U.S. representative to the Inter-American Committee (CIAP), which guides the Alianza, went Walt Whitman Rostow, 47, chairman of the State Department Policy Planning Council and a man with both the prestige and power to cut through the Alianza's bureaucratic underbrush.
