Argentina Moves to Free Market Under Ongania
Argentina shifts from military rule to an economic drive aimed at free enterprise. Ongania cracks down on unions, dissolves parties, and aims to rule for about ten years while labor penalties and frozen union funds limit CGT power. The CGT’s capitulation clears room to tackle mounting economic troubles after dismissing Salimett.

Legislature Was Mostly Independent As Reform Bills Passed
The 1967 Arkansas General Assembly convened January 9 as a notably independent body with a smaller Old Guard, more urban representation, and 44 House freshmen plus 10 in the Senate. It enacted reforms including a Department of Administration proposal, a government efficiency study commission, and a constitutional revision study commission. It approved a 1968 ballot amendment to remove judicial functions from county judges and allowed kindergarten public schools, while defeating the death penalty abolition, eight constitutional amendments, and several modernization bills. The session also saw investigations into prison abuses and broader study commissions, with mixed success on broader reforms.

ARES By Walter C. Parkes
A terse critique notes how vanity shapes gossip in social circles and hints at races in the South as a setting for chatter, while underscoring the lure of flattery amid attention seekers.
