Fourteen years ago Dublin, California was a crossroads on U.S. 50 and Highway 21. The population was less than 1,000 (most of them cows). Today Dublin is the crossroads of Interstate Highways 580 and 680 with a population of over 25,000 people. We now have fifteen gas stations, six supermarkets, two department stores, and a K-Mart. And we're still growing. 1971

The Newspaper That "Breeds" Readers: Illiteracy is a major obstacle to the countries of Latin America on the path to overall cultural and economic progress and forms a barrier to the development of the newspaper industry. A demand for general education is perceived as an urgent necessity in all countries. Governments are using funds wherever available to fight against illiteracy. Private companies as well as international organizations are also providing aid to the governments and local communities of Latin America. In Colombia, the number of adults who can neither read nor write is estimated at around 40%. The percentage of illiterate people here, as in all other countries, is very high, especially among the rural population. Despite their mass illiteracy, the large masses show an increasing hunger for education. Lectures and document...

Builders and doctors in Brasilia: Brasilia, the most modern capital city in the world has 65,000 inhabitants in 1959. Today, its population totals 250,000. In three years, this figure will increase to 500,000. Since the first foundations were laid, builders and doctors have worked closely together, first to see to it that the 60,000 workers who took part in building the new city stayed in good health; then to prevent the town from being invaded by diseases of the bush and forest. Immigrants' health are checked systematically on the roads in order to discover possible sources of dangerous disease.
