...Argentina's 10th Armored Cavalry Regiment of Azul, 170 miles southwest of Buenos Aires. A guard routinely challenged the lead truck-and was cut down by a hail of bullets. By the time government troops could counterattack, 60 to 70 "soldiers," all in army fatigues and full battle gear, had stormed into the officers' quarters. They held their position for seven hours, long enough to kill Base Commander Colonel Camilo Gay and his wife. Then they took Lieut.

...wavy battens of red-painted wood delicately mimicking the ripple of fabric stripes in a breeze, inevitably suggests Jasper Johns' flag paintings, but that is only an accident.

Beyond that, there is the puckish Greeley to cheer the melancholy Greeley up: "The only time I really feel lonely is when I leave Johnny Carson on for more than ten minutes...
...throwing up their hands; they complain that they simply cannot forecast 1974 or 1975 earnings of major companies. About the only stocks they can recommend are those of a handful of firms that stand to benefit from the energy crisis: coal companies, some railroads, makers of mining and drilling gear and firms that design or make equipment for power stations and refineries...
