...businessmen grow disenchanted with the socialist policies advocated by the Sandinistas. Surprisingly, the first serious threat came from the extreme left. Dissatisfied with the government's plans for building a mixed economy melding public and private enterprise, 60 Latin-American Trotskyites, calling themselves the Simón Bolívar Brigade, incited a demonstration by 3,000 Managua factory workers demanding compensation for wages lost during the revolution. The revolutionary government reacted by ordering its armed forces to put the Trotskyites on a plane to Panama...
...idea of the collection's extraordinary range and quality. Lugt's taste was not for the quick scribble, but for clear, developed, informative drawings. The major names of 17th century Dutch painting are there: Hendrick Goltzius, Aelbert Cuyp, Jacques de Gheyn, Pieter Saenredam, Hendrick Avercamp, Ferdinand Bol.

His fellow 17th century Russians emerge, as it were, frieze-dried...
...older boys) she appears to be a sex sym: bol, impure and simple as her long, sinuous body-high fashion, but with some meat on her smoothly articulated bones -slithers into closeup, her navel twinkling as invitingly as her sequins. Then, however, a shy smile splits her deadpan. As she speaks a few words of earnest greeting in her curiously flat voice, Pop and the other males see they can afford to relax. Underneath all that finery and a ceramic of makeup there is a rather awkward, imperfectly beautiful girl. She appears no more daunting than the nice...
