...RIOTING that followed Chamorro's murder, one of the Managua offices the mobs attacked was Citibank of New York. Lest our true allegiances be forgotten, we should note that the Harvard Business School awarded Somoza with an honorary degree. Furthermore, while beans, corn and other key foodstuffs are in short supply in Nicaragua, significant amounts of the arable land in the nation are owned by U.S. corporations and used for cultivating cash crops, such as coffee, cotton and bananas. Most importantly, America must not forget the conclusion that then Congressman Edward Koch of New York reached last summer after...
Daniel Petrie, the director, keeps The Betsy on its lugubrious, though hardly lubricated, course; the solemnity of his touch earned unintentional laughs even from the audience I saw the film with, an unsophisticated bunch who wanted porn instead of corn.

And down at the high school they are wearing pegged pants and leather jackets, as John Travolta, the heartthrob of the '70s, gives a belated tour...
...This year one can even buy a turkey dinner-buy dinner, that is, for Meleagris gallapavo, the American wild turkey. The offer comes from the Felix Neck Wildlife Sanctuary on Martha's Vineyard, where as many as 650 wild ducks, geese and turkeys peck through 200 Ibs. of corn, oats, wheat and high-protein dog food at a sitting...
