...Sprites, correspondents covering the Cyprus fighting see something hidden from most war correspondents: both sides. Even the press corps headquarters-the comfortable Ledra Palace Hotel-is located directly on the often violated Green Line dividing Greek and Turkish factions. Pasting press stickers on their car windshields, the correspondents dash in and out of the fighting zones, crossing no man's land where armed U.N. troops dare not tread. Both Turkish and Greek Cypriots welcome the press because they want to get their views before world opinion. Still, crossing the lines is tricky. "The technique," says one experienced correspondent...
CHRYSLER'S "car of the future" looks like a giant whitewashed Jeep, is 34 ft. high, has genuine bucket seats, and a lot of clabberdash on the dash. The whole show pokes fun at auto-mania, is one of the sprightliest in the transportation area...
Lions & Goats. "Organized bands entering city," Hoyt observed laconically as the battle began. "Firing into air and possibly on consulate. Just saw Congolese in tattered dress, presume Popular Army."

More than anything else, Betancourt -the first popularly elected President in Venezuelan history to complete his term-proved that democracy could work in his country...
...Boroughs* (TIME, July 10), and at present in Central Park an excellent production of Othello, with James Earl Jones as a hip-swiveling, primitive Moor. The staging is bold. In the bedroom scene, for example, Desdemona (Julienne Marie) does not just wait to be strangled. She makes a desperate dash to get away. Othello chases her, catches her when she trips on a flight of stairs, carries her, struggling, back to the bed, where he falls on her and chokes off her life...
