...Three-Fourths. When the details of the deal were exposed, all Belaúnde's familiar opponents exploded in an outburst of nationalist indignation. So did the left wing of his own party and the army. The military leaders were furious that their counsel had not been sought in concluding a contract dealing with oil, a resource vital to the country's security. Two weeks ago, Belaúnde responded to the outcry by firing his Cabinet, making it the scapegoat for the affair. But he replaced it with one that the army considered even less competent...

Both Jack and Bobby Kennedy submitted the manuscripts of their first books to him for critical comment. To his secretary, Laura Waltz...

The U.S. Supreme Court decisions on Escobedo and Miranda deal favorably with situations like Smith's. But those landmark decisions were written since Smith's trial eleven years ago, and are not retroactive. His petition to the Supreme Court to vacate his conviction is pending; he has a stay of execution until that decision is made...
