...PARAGUAY. After eleven years under Dictator-President Alfredo Stroessner, the country's 1,900,000 people do not have democracy in the U.S. sense, or much hope of achieving it in the near future. But the regime is growing more benign, and Paraguayans are beginning to know a little prosperity. Attracted by rocklike stability (the guarani at 126 to the dollar has not budged in five years), foreign investment has increased steadily. U.S. firms have spent more than $25 million to build meat-packing plants, a bottled-gas facility, a hydroelectric station and an oil refinery. Last year, exports...
...general practitioner, was so concerned for his aging patients who had no place else to go, that he decided to start Issaquah Villa in his "spare time"-that is, when he was not attending to the daily 50-patient load of his regular practice and helping to raise his eleven children and his black Angus cattle. Even with all those demands on his energy, he has been able to operate profitably a home that ranks with the best in the U.S. What's more, the unusual presence of a doctor as medical director, rather than a registered nurse...
Neanderthal Roars. Some oldsters come because "I saw one episode when I was eleven and wanted to know how it came out"; the majority are meeting the movie Batman for the first time.

But by the time Batman lies trapped in a pit with knife blades converging on him, the audience stops laughing, starts chanting...
...without argument the greatest runner in professional football. In 1957, the first year he joined Cleveland as an All-America from Syracuse University and the Browns' No. 1 draft choice, he gained an incredible 942 yds. on the ground. He has not done that poorly since. Only eleven men in the N.F.L.'s 45-year history have gained 1,000 yds. or more in a single season -an accomplishment roughly equivalent to batting .400 in baseball or scoring 50 goals in hockey. Brown has done it seven times in nine years. He has led the National Football League...
...history has not made it clear whether Mary Stewart, Queen of Scots, was a wanton schemer or a woman wronged-particularly since the whole evidence of her presumed adultery and complicity in her husband's murder rests on the eleven documents that comprise the "Casket Letters." In this highly packed piece of literary sleuthing, Dr. M. H. Armstrong Davison concludes that the Casket Letters were frauds...
