...street and shot them dead. Later in the week, a pickup truck carrying ten armed men pulled up to a cemetery in San Salvador. Interrupting a funeral service, they pointed to five cemetery workers and ordered them into the truck. That night the bodies of four of the workers, clad only in underpants, were dumped at the cemetery's gate; on the chest of one of them were burned the initials of a right-wing death squad. The whereabouts of the fifth victim remains unknown...
...leave the morning after, all the while hoping she will. She cooperates by insisting that she must fly on to Barcelona. At the last minute, she agrees to stay, much to his chagrin. In this piece, as throughout, the two use only one or two props, and remain clad in streetclothes. They pick a theme begun some time earlier in a musical that the audience, of course, doesn't see.

In another picture, black-clad climbers struggle up the snowy folds of Mont Blanc looking like a necklace of chocolate chips dropped into a vanilla sundae. Meanwhile, journalistic history is displayed in a set of pictures and captions from the first interview ever recorded (in 1886) for both eye and ear. The cameramen-interviewers...
...papers were feisty and profitable, brimming with grisly crime stories and pictures of scantily clad women. But Rupert Murdoch, 49, was never content to be lord of the tabloids. He gained a foothold in New York with the racy Post, then reached for a more literate audience with New York magazine and the Village Voice. Now the Australian publisher has reached an agreement to purchase one of the world's most staid and revered publications, the Times of London...
