...same time Chileans have been hit by an inflation of violence. A carabinero (national policeman) was killed in a clash between pro-and anti-Allende forces in Conception in August, and a 17-year-old student died when a tear-gas grenade exploded in his face during a Santiago street brawl last month. As the violence increases, political parties have begun to organize for street warfare. The Communist Party has set up "self-defense committees" throughout Santiago. The Socialists talk of establishing "antifascist brigades." On the other side, a youthful group of extreme rightists called Patria y Libertad talks vaguely...
...truth, King Cariadoc is a Columbia University physicist named David Friedman, and the valiant knight who "slew" him is a male nurse from Toledo named Andrew Holly.

It was merely another lovingly re-created medieval spectacle staged by the Society for Creative Anachronism, a six-year-old organization whose 3,000 members are in love with the Middle Ages.

The Northwestern program, named Chess 3.5, looked ahead 4 ply at most. However, its evaluation function was very sophisticated, and it assessed positions on the basis of material, pawn structure, control of the center, and safety of the king. The other program, Tech, could look ahead...
Striving to increase profit, supermarket managers are also stocking a growing grab bag of nongrocery items from banjos to philodendron plants, and making room in their stores for wine shops, sports-clothes boutiques and even pharmacies. But some food-chain managers fear that if the fierce price-cutting clash continues much longer, the entire industry is headed for a bumpy shake-out period of failures and mergers. Others take a less apocalyptic view, believing that the discount craze will run its course and the old merchandising cycle will start all over. Says Eugene Walsh, president of Ralphs Grocery chain...
