Last Oct. 29, Ben Barka arrived in Paris for a lunch at the famed Brasserie Lipp. He had no sooner alighted from his taxi on the Boulevard St. Germain than he was met by an S.D.E.C.E. agent and two French policemen acting for the Moroccans. They bundled him into a police Peugeot, and took him to a villa in suburban Fontenay-le-Vicomte. It has since been established that Oufkir, accompanied by the head of the Moroccan secret police, flew from Rabat to Paris next day. Whether by coincidence or not, Ben Barka was never seen again...
...bulk of them are hungry, hard-scrabbling peasants who live in the barrios of the towns and cities. Some scavenge metal from the firing ranges of U.S. bases; others cap bottles of San Miguel beer in the big stone brewery near Manila Harbor. Beneath the stately palms of Roxas Boulevard in downtown Manila, the sons of rich Filipino businessmen race their Fords past gaudy jeepneys (freelance taxis).

The army arrested the ringleaders, but when Nendaka's police promptly set them free, Mobutu decided that it was time to step in. He summoned his 14 regional commanders to Leopoldville, where in a conference that lasted until...
Dennis still feels somewhat vengeful toward the people in Hawthorne who snickered at the group. "I like showing them that we've got a lot of cash," he says. "When I visit my mother there, I drive my Ferrari down Hawthorne Boulevard, go home, drive the Cobra along the same street, and do the same thing with the Aston-Martin and my brother's old T-Bird." Like the others, he owns his own home in Beverly Hills. He and his brothers replaced the old home in Hawthorne with a "mansion for mother. It's sort of like a neighborhood...
