I just came across this weird article from a 1946 issue of Time magazine: http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,776625,00.html If they did in fact make illiteracy a crime in Mexico by March 1 of that year, I wonder what the penalty was? Have any of you ever heard of this before? Thanks, Elsa
