...vital neurotransmitter that helps govern such voluntary actions as walking and speaking. As it happens, there is another site in the body, outside the brain, that produces substantial amounts of dopamine: the inner core of the adrenal glands. By transferring dopamine-producing adrenal cells into the brain, Dr. Ignacio Madrazo and his colleagues hoped to replenish the supply of this neurotransmitter and thus restore normal function...
...Madrazo's amazement, the effects of the operations, performed in March and October of last year, became apparent in a matter of days. In the case of one of the two patients, he noted in the Journal, "functional recovery occurred on an almost daily basis." Both men are now leading normal lives, says Madrazo, and one has resumed managing his own farm. The loss of one adrenal gland has not presented any complications. Nor is rejection a problem, because the grafted tissue is the patient's own. Encouraged, Madrazo's team has tried the procedure on eight other patients. They...
...middle class, who had grown up in a peaceful society, tired of a system which in the interests of stability left them little decision-making power. They wanted to pick their own leaders and run their own organizations. Foreseeing major disturbances unless the government opened its closed doors. Carlos Madrazo, the president of PRI in 1964, began to democratize the party by initiating primary elections. He was fired by President Diaz Ordaz who ruled over a Mexico increasingly torn by student strife. Finally in 1968 thousands of protestors challenged the very basis of his presidential power...
...next few years. The party has certainly chosen his successor already, and probably his successor's successor. The presidential term is six years long and PRI is wise in its choices. But it does not have a reputation for love of democracy. When in 1965 party chief Carlos Madrazo proposed a system for gubernatorial primaries in Mexican states he was ousted and several years later killed in a plane crash of mysterious origins. Mexican philosopher Octavio Paz compared PRI to the ancient Aztecs. Both, he said, controlled the whole country from the Valley of Mexico (where Mexico City is today...
Against Time. Madrazo has firsthand knowledge of his party's lethargy and corruption. In 1952, when the government was racked by a scandal over P.R.I. officials who demanded payoffs from Mexican braceros in return for work permits, Bureaucrat Madrazo-as P.R.I. leaders privately admit today -was framed and packed off to jail for eight months. Next week Madrazo will open a national convention at which delegates representing the P.R.I.'s 6,300,000-man membership will be invited to draw up a long-term program of social and political reform. "Politics," warns Madrazo, "is a game against time...
