...mathematically doomed anyway. In Portugal, political parties must mail out their own ballots. The eligible voters were named on the official registration lists, but nongovernment candidates were not allowed to see the lists long enough to record all the names on them. In the Lisbon election district, Scares' group managed to send ballots to only half of the 350,000 voters-thus guaranteeing defeat. What is more, opposition ballots were printed on nearly transparent paper that was clearly different from the heavier-stock used by the National Union, thus making the "secret ballot" a mockery...

All were executed by the Communists at the time of the savage 25-day battle for the city, during the Tet offensive of 1968.

The soldiers said that the men would be indoctrinated and then allowed...

Especially Frank Zappa, scrawny and at his most unappetizing in long red underwear, straggly black hair tied in a ponytail, a sinister goatee elongating...
...merely as a devil's advocate who started out by disguising his own serious music as rock ("There's nothing reprehensible in atonal music played over a boogaloo rhythm"), hoping to find a permanent place for it. At 29, Zappa has now disbanded the leading underground rock group in the U.S. "I got tired of playing for people who clap for all the wrong reasons," he says. "Those kids wouldn't know music if it came...
