...style that contains Byzantine, Arabic, Hebraic and Moorish influences, flamenco reaches so far back into the gypsy's dim and restless history that no one can tell whence it came. Entirely improvised, its techniques have been handed down through countless generations by the Andalusian gypsies of southern Spain. The themes are basic as life: love, loneliness, birth, death. The music is so rhythmically complex that it is too sophisticated for all but the best of modern guitarists. The lyrics evoke the same ingenuous moods as the music: "I love you so much that I would like to carry...

The hope, still dim but voiced seriously for the first time, is that outside pressure-chiefly from the U.S.-will eventually force the dictator...
...badly stung by charges that he had been evasive about the true nature of the back injury, set up a press conference for Dr. Travell. To some 100 White House reporters, Janet Travell said that there was no connection between the virus and the back troubles. She took a dim view of the Potomac cruise -admitted she would have liked to have advised against it. But the infection, she added, had one good side effect: by forcing the President to bed, it gave the back an additional chance to heal. There was not much time for healing: after 31 supine...
