Unprecedented Charges. The Chinese claimed last week that Agent Li had "confessed" that he had dealings with the Russians and had "carried out espionage activities under [the Soviets'] direct command."

The charges were un precedented, even in the acrimonious climate of diplomatic dueling between the two Communist superpowers...
...lead truck-and was cut down by a hail of bullets. By the time government troops could counterattack, 60 to 70 "soldiers," all in army fatigues and full battle gear, had stormed into the officers' quarters. They held their position for seven hours, long enough to kill Base Commander Colonel Camilo Gay and his wife. Then they took Lieut.

My notes on this show are full of references to "latin style" riffs or themes. A new tune, called "Sometime Ago" moved through several varied themes and each had a distinctly Spanish/Latin/South American tint...
