...thick and their suits cut on Savile Row lines, will riot over an increase in the cost of living-but not over the fall of an elected government. Cynical corruption wrecked the middle-class Radicals' one chance in power (1916-30), and the disgusted army sent General Jose Uriburu, astride a white charger and backed by 10,000 troops, to take over the presidential residence, the Casa Rosada. The brass has never been out of politics since...
...Dominican Republic almost from the day he hit there last January. A subdued and indifferent man desiring only to enjoy the $40 million plus that he stole from Cuba, Batista instead found himself sucked into anti-Castro plots by Dominican Dictator Rafael Trujillo.

The theatre quivers with excitement as characters swirl about the set, and race up and down the aisles to envelop the audience in the action (though this is carried somewhat to excess...
...Patient and precise, slight (5 ft. 8 in., 150 Ibs.) Bernard ("Tut") Bartzen, 31, from Dallas, retrieved shot after shot at Chicago's River Forest Tennis Club, finally put away San Jose State's Whitney Reed, 26, by the score of 6-0, 8-6, 7-5, to keep his U.S. clay-court championship, and to prove again that he is without peer on clay, where the balls bounce high and true, although he may be an also-ran on grass, where the shots skid low and hard...
