Time for Reminders. To Argentines, the speech was a breath-taking turnabout. Evita Peron's newspaper Democracia rose loyally to the new challenge by delivering a forthright attack on meat: "It will wreck your liver, undermine your health, poison you with proteins and provoke serious digestive disturbances." But the presidential conversion gave the Radical Party weekly Adelante a first-class chance to trounce the regime...
...rule that every team in the circuit will play every other club represents a turnabout for Harvard and Yale, at least. Only a year ago Yale's Bob Hall reminded this department that there was no such thing as an Ivy League--it was an "Ivy Group." The Blue and the Crimson wanted to avoid any organized pact which would commit them to playing Cornell with any regularity, and in the case of Penn, never. Harvard and Yale weren't being stuffy.

With controls lifted, tiremakers last week confidently announced that they would soon be able...
INDUSTRY Sellers' Market Again In Detroit last week, automakers heard a welcome plea from dealers: "Send us more cars." The market, swamped with cars only a few months ago, has done a complete turnabout. The National Production Authority reported that dealers' stocks have dropped 20%, from an average of 10.3 cars on hand in June to 8.4 at the beginning of September. The biggest reason for the increase in sales, despite price boosts, is decreased auto production and fear of car shortages...
