...plant, a worker-expropriated factory that produces half of Chile's noodles. At the gate we were stopped by a burly "people's guard," who watched us closely as a companion vanished into a nearby building.

"We have taken over the factory," said Union Spokesman Guillermo Bonilla, "because the bosses never gave workers human respect or consulted with them about changes in their jobs. They were bastards...
Among works still awaiting restoration are the Sacrifice of Isaac by Allori (Church of San Niccolò Oltrarno), Bronzino's Christ Descending into Limbo (Museum of Santa Croce), and Ghiberti's and Pisano's bronze doors from the Florence Baptistry-which restorers may have to coat with a transparent synthetic resin, now under research in Italy, to protect them from worse damage by air pollution...

Charlton Heston, dressed in black boots, white pants, scarlet coat and top hat, was kicking off the celebrity-filled first night of Ringling Bros, and Barnum & Bailey in Los Angeles.

...Miami, Porter ran into a former associate on The Crimson, photographer Peter Southwick, and bewailed the fact that although now he could afford three Nikons, which hung around his neck at the time, he had not had the time to take a single picture. Southwick remembers Danny wearing a coat and pants which looked baggy--he had lost a lot of weight during the primaries. Danny told Southwick that the incredible success had surprised him a little.
