...seduction while posing nude for a life class in Rome. He has his way with a working model (Irina Demick), a baker's wife (Sandra Milo), a widow (Annie Girardot) and a winsome ingenue (Catherine Deneuve)-without ever letting a hint of prurience mar his bland façade.

Nor did it explain anything about Che's fate-except that he was out of power in Cuba...
...Adeola Odutola, 63, a onetime farmer, developed a business to produce bicycle tires for the growing army of bikes, has done so well that he is adding a $1,700,000 plant, plans eventually to harvest his own rubber from his 5,000-acre plantation. A former office worker, Ade Tuyo, 63, cast around for a business that would have 'first priority in people's spending" opened a bakery that today has four shops and makes 115 products.
