...collections in Manhattan and Paris. The mini with the most has been Paris-based Kenzo's design. Made of suede, leather or printed cotton, Kenzo's flat half-circle with a snap-down flap has sold millions in copies by Miller, Pappagallo and others. A made-in-Colombia macrame necklace pouch by Kathy McKeany ($5) is expected to be a sellout when it reaches stores across the country this week. More ornate minis include Bagatelle Creations' snakeskin square with bow-tied front flap and shoulder strap ($45), Fendi's burgundy suede pouch on matching belt...

The principal architect of the unprecedented statement was a Peruvian priest named Gustavo Gutiérrez, an old friend of Camilo Torres and theological adviser at Medellín.

Those prices may enable Brazil to earn $500 million more on coffee sales in the next twelve months than it would have if there had been no frost...
Marks interviewed more than 30 church and CIA sources, most of whom insisted upon anonymity and made veiled accusations. A typical charge was that during the '60s CIA funds had been channeled into a Catholic-run anti-Communist radio network in Colombia. Another allegation: 15 years ago, a Protestant missionary in Bolivia, "as a patriotic duty and not for pay," gave reports to the CIA about the Communist Party, labor unions and farmers' cooperatives. At least one nun in Colombia, an ex-agent says, meticulously compiled an account of the political affiliation of each family in a village...
