With the record thus cleared, Biographer Cate dramatically details the involvements that his scholarship can verify-including affairs with Prosper Mérimeée, Alfred de Musset, Frédéric Chopin, one Italian surgeon, two French lawyers and an international assortment of young men who entered Sand's household as tutors for her two children, Maurice and Solange...
Among the more outlandish guests in TIME homes are a toad, Pierrot, kept by Deputy Chief of Correspondents Benjamin Cate's children, two raccoons belonging to Senior Editor Marshall Loeb's daughter, Margaret, and Picture Editor John Durniak's boa constrictor, Charlie.

For Business Writer Jack Kramer, a former London resident, economizing on energy...
...called "Plan Zeta." It reportedly called for the execution of 17,000 right-wing and moderate Chileans, including high-ranking military officers, former President Eduardo Frei, anti-Allende union bosses, justices of the supreme court, lawyers and businessmen. A government official who spoke to TIME's Benjamin Cate in Santiago last week said that not all of the arms that were to have been used by the leftists for the executions have been found. That apparently is the reason why the search for weapons and "extremists" continues...
