...buses rattled over its freshly concreted streets, stony-faced Indian women raced about on sleek Honda motorbikes, and stores were stocked with everything from American canned tomatoes to cold German beer. On down the road at Tarapoto, the local airport now handles more freight than any other in Peru except Lima. Along with Ford and Chevrolet agencies, Tarapoto has also sprouted no-parking signs and one-way streets...
...most contentious book of the season has a nowhere plot, grey characters, and not even the beginnings of a bedroom scene. It certainly will be on nobody's Christmas list, except perhaps that of the Soviet embassy, whose operatives religiously study it as the best single guideline to U.S. frustrations, strengths and dreams. This remarkable volume is the federal budget (478 pages; Government Printing Office; $1.50), and right now it is a lively subject of national debate and confusion. Practically everybody agrees that the federal budget is bloated, but practically nobody can agree on just where...
...better, and three or four or even five are like zoom, man! Take, for instance, last week's Outboard World Championships at Lake Havasu, Ariz.

Except for the big department and food stores, advertising is coming in. If the strike lasts long enough, the Daily Press hopes to match its 1964 profit...

Early last month he announced that the old Imperial would be demolished, except for its 1958 annex of 550 rooms, to make way for a modern 18-story hotel with 1,000 additional rooms. Protests, editorials and cables from abroad poured in. The influential architect Kiyoshi Higuchi called the old Imperial "a swan afloat on a lake." Young Japanese architects formed a society...
