...that speech, delivered in Jujuy last month, Radical Deputy Atilio Cattáneo had waxed sarcastic about the wealth which leading Peronistas now display-including President Perón's quinta at San Vicente, reputedly worth $300,000. A fortnight later Perón denounced the deputy's charges, prompting Prensa and Nación, which had not published the original speech, to print short resumes of it along with the President's reply. Roused by this action, Perón last week called his cabinet, the entire foreign correspondents' corps and some 50 local newsmen...

...entirely discarded by astronomers. Recently, armed with a vast amount of detailed knowledge that Kant did not possess, modern astronomers have busied themselves reconsidering his theory and plugging holes in it.

Readers who are not frightened away by the dry crackle of its title will find Christian challenge and mental stimulus in a new Barth book published last week, Dogmatics in Outline (Philosophical Library...
...walk-up apartments: "modern" studios sandwiched between lead-heavy Jacobean dinettes and cluttered Victorian parlors. His stark plywood chairs were ornamented with fussy crocheted antimacassars, his baby carriages fashioned like battleships. The level-headed modern designer, set loose among America's gingerbread and fake Tudor suburbs and neo-Renaissance row houses, was in danger, according to Steinberg, of having his dearest creations turned into a series of meaningless stylistic mannerisms...
