...Reichstag was further damaged by Allied bombers and by shellfire in the closing days of World War II. Though many Germans thought that it should remain in ruins-as a reminder of the past-slow reconstruction work was begun in 1958.

The leaders of the P.R.I.'s trade-union wing, the peasant branches, P.R.I.-dominated businessmen's associations, the party's lower-echelon bureaucracy are all consulted. A half-dozen or more names may flash before the public. At last, a central core of party chieftains, a few ex-Presidents with influence and, most important, Mexico's current...
