Last week it was Argentina's younger officers, the lieutenants, captains and majors, who had told potent General Avalos that the country was threatened with civil war and the Army with destruction as long as Perón dominated the Government.

It seemed more likely that since both clubs had barely squeaked into the series, they would have to play out the full string of seven before either one could win four...
...Producer. Miss Bennett is not easily embarrassed. "After all," as she explained, "I'm not getting any younger [she will be 40 this month] and this being glamorous can't go on forever. I don't see why I shouldn't get established as a producer...
