Other South Americans are closely watching the events in Peru. Five of the continent's major countries are ruled by military regimes of various types that tend to emulate one another. If the Peruvians, aided by the Soviets, are able to exert their independence of the U.S. and get away with it, their example is unlikely to be lost on the other generals who today rule more than three-quarters of South America's people...

That is how it looked, and the superintendent of the New York State insurance department promptly opened an inquiry into Great American's future ability to underwrite.

At the same time, Gold theorizes, the ionized gases exert a drag on the magnetic field, and thus on the star itself, gradually slowing its rate of spin...
