Died. Javier Pereira, longtime (according to him: since 1789) aboriginal resident of Colombia, generally considered the oldest man on earth; in Monteria, Colombia. Physicians at the New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center, where he was taken for examination in 1956, said that the little (4 ft. 4 in., 75 Ibs.) cigar-smoking Indian might "possibly [have been] more than 150 years old." During his only trip away from home, Pereira made passes at an airline stewardess, socked reporters and others who annoyed him. After the trip, the government of Colombia issued a Pereira postage stamp with the motto: "Don't worry. Drink coffee and smoke a good cigar."
