...gubernatorial party primaries, but his demand was denied. The P.D.P. convention was rescheduled a month earlier to forestall popular debate, and the Governor's forces charged that the selection of delegates was rigged. Last week, in San Juan's Hiram Bithorn Stadium, party regulars, under the impassive gaze of Luis Muñoz, jeered Sánchez, then overwhelmingly nominated Luis Negrón Lopez, the senate majority leader, for the governorship...

Then, while the nation was still dazzled by his convention victory, he gambled on dissolving Parliament and seeking his own mandate in an election...
...King's Arms, where costumed waiters slightly self-consciously ask the guests if they want their napkins tied around their necks, 18th century style. Best of all, they can wander beside ox-drawn carts along quiet, auto-free streets, amble through dozens of fragrant, carefully tended gardens, gaze over fields of maize or grazing sheep without seeing a telephone pole or TV aerial...
