Chenault's kidnaping was only one bang in a string of F.A.L.N. fireworks last week. On the eve of Dec. 1 elections to choose a successor for out going President Rómulo Betancourt, terrorists shot it out with Caracas police, fired on pedestrians, bombed power stations. Gift-wrapped bombs were sent to four of Venezuela's seven presidential candidates (all the packages were intercepted); five youths and a girl hijacked an Avensa airliner and forced the pilot to fly to Trinidad, where authorities arrested the hijackers and later turned them over to Venezuela...
...Dali's Pop is hardly a bang. It is just another gesture in the best work of art that he has ever made-himself Vermeer was truly a great Pop artiste " he grandly announces.

People might have been more surprised if he had told them the sun had come up on schedule that morning. Rocky has been running hard for a long while.

"But just about everything else is new." Burriss estimates that only 10% of the A3's components came from the A2. The new missile is about 16 in. longer than the A2, and its bullet-shaped nose is discarded after the missile has cleared the atmosphere, uncovering the warhead (missile engineers call it the rock) which is heavier, more powerful. According to unofficial reports, the A-3 packs 750 kilotons of bang instead...
...BANG! The door is three inches thick and made of solid oak, but it shudders as if cannonballs were bounding off the other side. The young woman screams. No need. The door holds, the banging stops. Huge footsteps die into the distance. Silence. The young woman falls back on the bed and sobs with relief. "It's gone! It's gone!" Her eyes close weakly. When she opens them she sees that slowly, ever so slowly, the big brass knob on the d-d-d-door is t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-turning...
