...last week, the red carpet was rolled out by Bethlehem Steel Corp executives. The ship carried the first load of Venezuelan iron ore (22,000 tons) ever to be brought to the U.S. The ore came from Beth Steel's open pit mine in the state of Bolivar. Bethlehem eventually expects to get 3,000,000 tons a year for its big Sparrows Point steel mill in return for the ten years of work and $50 million poured into the Venezuelan project. It has built a highway, a railway (the only standard gauge in Venezuela) and three communities...
...lucky Sergeant John Frankey and his quiet little buddy Corporal Paul Abel were supply noncoms in C Company of the 796th M.P. Battalion.

Actually, the idealistic Montserrat is helping to hide him-and known to be. Aware that torture will never make Montserrat talk, his ruthless colonel adopts a crueler course: he collects six innocent townspeople who are to be shot unless Montserrat speaks up. Montserrat, though horrified, refuses; and a long, harrowing ordeal begins...
...Leger has lost none of his fire. Cluttering his little Left Bank studio are sketches for a book to be called The Circus, costume and set designs for the new Darius Milhaud opera Bolivar, and studies for a memorial to the U.S. war dead which he hopes to decorate with huge, gay, half-abstract ceramics of planes, ships and smiling young men with their helmets...
