Identical Abduction. Exacerbating the climate of crisis was another shock the same day: Lieut. General Emilio Villaescusa Quilis, 64, head of the special military tribunal that was used in Franco's days to try major political offenders, was kidnaped in broad daylight. The general was grabbed by unidentified gunmen in front of his apartment house, bundled into his Mercedes and whisked away into captivity. The operation was almost identical to the abduction Dec. 11 of right-wing Industrialist Antonio Maria de Oriol y Urquijo, president of an advisory council to Spain's head of state. Oriol...
Undaunted, Emilio Ambasz, 33, curator of design at Manhattan's Museum of Modern Art, decided two years ago that what New York and other cities needed was a totally new look in cabs. He secured grants from the Mobil Oil Corp. and the U.S. Department of Transportation, sought advice from New York's Taxi and Limousine Commission, and drew up a 160-page study on taxis and their ideal specifications.

A prompt international campaign of telegrams to Videla inquiring about the disappearances made the junta aware that the news had somehow leaked...

Argentine foreign debts of about $1 billion will be due at the end of May, and it is crucial that foreign creditors cooperate in extending repayment terms. Emilio Mondelli, the Peronist finance minister, had repeatedly pleaded with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to borrow an additional $300 million to offset the country's trade imbalance. This request had repeatedly not been granted...
...night, we sit in the park again and an older man, conservatively dressed, strolls along, notices Hans and sits beside us, exchanging pleasantries in the friendly Chilean way. Emilio leans over and whispers, "They are of our line." Instantly, the man's face darkens and he begins to speak fervently. "We Chileans are cowards. We permit this criminal government to keep us down," he says. We try to reassure him that the Chileans are hardly cowards but he will not be dissuaded...
