Many black politicians, especially on the West Coast, distrust Brown as a minimalist whose constant refrain is "People must lower their expectations." Said California Assemblyman Willie Brown, who drives a sporty Porsche: "My expectations have not been lowered. I still want my Turbo Carrera"-a reference to a supercharged GT model with a $25,850 price tag. Nonetheless, Jerry drew cheers again when he pointed at Mervyn Dymally, California's black Lieutenant Governor, and shouted: "If I go to Washington, he goes to Sacramento. If I'm elected President, I will appoint the first black Governor...
...more than his sparkling teeth in Embryo, a new movie directed by Ralph Nelson. In the picture, Hudson portrays a medical researcher who raises an embryo in his laboratory. Trouble is, Dr. Rock mixes the wrong ingredients, and presto, a fragile fetus becomes a fetching filly played by Barbara Carrera, a Nicaraguan fashion model. Hudson and Carrera quickly get down to more basic research, including a fireside frolic in the buff.

At the height of the fighting on Tuesday, Carrera Manager Luis Miguel ("Mike") Gallegos−upon whose thin breast every one of last week's guests would like to hang a medal−evacuated his 270 charges and 200 employees to the cavernous second basement. It took on the atmosphere of a London tube stop during the blitz, but with a notably international flavor. A French journalist challenged all comers...
...Wednesday, little things began indicating that the revolution was ending. Those trapped in the Carrera sensed the lessening fire, sometimes too soon. For instance, as I was typing in my room early Thursday, a man asked if he could look out the window, which overlooks La Moneda. As he opened the curtain, thwack! came the shot from below. Before I could crawl over and throw him out of my room, he had taken another peek, and we had taken another round. But after three days of entombment in the Carrera he, like everybody else, had begun thinking of other things...
