Shock Waves. Censorship in all its forms is spreading in South America. In Bolivia last month, the leftist military regime decreed that "press workers'' would henceforth "enjoy the Sunday rest." In fact, the Sunday work suspension snuffed out the Monday morning editions of all four major papers that are hostile to the government. In addition, the government's insistence that newspapers provide space on the editorial page for reporters to "freely express their ideas under their signatures" was actually an attempt to curb antigovernment editorials...
...solution that would muffle the inter national protests. Henceforth, the Ministry of Fisheries ruled, seal hunters on the ice floes of the Gulf of St. Law rence would kill and skin only "beat ers" - month-old pups whose fur had turned a less-appealing brown and whose eyes no longer reflected the same degree of trust and innocence. And because the beaters could swim, went the reasoning, the St. Lawrence hunters would have to use guns, not clubs, to take their limit of 50,000 pups.

It also made it clear that clerks would take their time handling the transactions. Swiss banks immediately passed on the cost of delay by accepting lira deposits only at discounts...
...worldwide Franciscan general chapter meeting in Assisi voted to end that discrimination. The order's General Constitutions were amended to specify that "all solemnly professed friars are eligible for the offices and positions of the order." Consequently, Franciscans assumed that a brother henceforth could advance to any job, conceivably even to the office of minister general of the order itself...
