Twelve-Hour Day. Balaguer runs the Dominican Republic in the grand old Latin tradition of personalismo, dealing directly and personally with problems, people-and enemies. No sooner had he taken office after last year's elections than he packed General Elias Wessin y Wessin, leader of the army's ultra right, off to New York as the country's alternate delegate to the U.N.; fiery Leftist Juan Bosch, in turn, went into "voluntary" exile in Spain. In the name of "national unity," Balaguer appointed members of Bosch's Dominican Revolutionary Party as his ministers of industry...
Which chromosome, they did not say. A normal woman has 22 pairs of nonsex chromosomes, like a man, plus two x chromosomes to determine femaleness.

A fairly common case of "one chromosome too many" is an xxy combination, but this is accompanied by external male genitalia and poor, nonathletic physical development.

This bill has served only to arouse more deeply such frustrations and rage, for it does not relate to the basic...
Following the doctors' testimony, the Senators confronted Secretary of Agriculture Orville Freeman and other officials with demands for immediate relief measures. Sen. Jacob Javits (R-N.Y.) asked that a state of emergency be declared in Mississippi. Sen. Robert F. Kennedy (D-N.Y.) called for a Public Health Service inquiry into the extent of hunger in the United States...
