Stretching back in his neat office high above sun-sheened Honolulu Harbor, Henry Alexander Walker Jr., president of Amfac, Inc., a widely diversified service company, makes it clear that he and his brazen "no" men indeed have something special. As acquisitive as boys at a Good Humor truck, they have built the biggest and fastest growing Hawaii-based company. Amfac reaches into retailing, financing, farming and hotels, and is spreading into countries spanning almost half the globe. Last week Amfac expanded again, this time right into the populous East Coast. For $11 million in stock, the firm bought Baltimore...
...gang is believed to have been responsible for six major bombings, including two at U.S. Army installations that killed four U.S. servicemen and injured 41 persons. Modeling themselves on Uruguay's Tupamaro guerrillas, the gang, which numbered about 25 at its zenith, has engaged in a string of brazen bank robberies, car thefts and shoot-outs with police during the past two years. The motive is political. Through acts of violence, the gang seeks to overthrow West German society and drive the U.S. military presence from the country.

Palmer came in at 300. So did Trevino, who was ending a two-year boycott of the Masters. Apart from Nicklaus' brazen attempts to reach the green in two on the 520-yd., water-guarded 15th hole, most of the excitement was in Augusta's parking lot, where Trevino used his red Dodge Charger as a locker room and interview post.

Nicklaus, of course, could...
...attention-absorbing, footwork. But with fourteen scenes, her steps rapidly grow familiar. The formula is for a surprise or hanging suspense finale in every episode. This would be fine if it ever relented, but finally predictability pushes The Bull over the edge of serious comedy to a surprisingly brazen brand of melodrama. "Teddy you can't do this to me," Casey tells her manager when he threatens to walk out. "Watch me," he says and then strides away. "I'm not going to protect you from life," another tells her, "the way your jokes protect you from feeling." "Casey please...
Blacaman the Good, Vendor of Miracles is a wicked little fable about an itinerant worker of cures and exactly how he acquired his specialty. Blacaman is the kind of brazen fellow Garcia Marquez obviously enjoys. The only thing he refuses to do is raise the dead, because, he says, "They're murderous with rage at the one who disturbed their state." He knows better, however. Offered the road to sainthood, he declines: "The truth is that I'd gain nothing by being a saint after being dead; an artist is what I am." And he actually manages...
