Near Laurinburg, Presbyterians broke ground for a new college, a few weeks behind the Methodist groundbreaking for a college at Rocky Mount and three years behind the brand-new $19 million campus of Baptist-affiliated Wake Forest College in Winston-Salem.

However, when the glamour of the present hardens into the more searching mold of history, Munoz will surely have as good, and probably a far better claim to fanfare than Castro. Munoz is the creator of a new and unique political relationship within the old bonds of Federalism. He was the driving force behind Puerto Rico's achievement...
