...polarization. Two weeks ago, Seregni narrowly escaped serious injury when an assassin lunged at him with a knife at a campaign rally. On the same day, a twelve-year-old boy was shot and killed in a campaign fracas. At a pro-Pacheco rally, someone tossed a live but harmless green snake at the speaker, who pitched it back onto the heads of his listeners. Such political turmoil was once almost unknown in the little land that was frequently called the "Switzerland of South America" and was noted for its hospitality to political refugees...

Harmless fun and easy to take, it asks the question: Has the time come to judge Moog programmers on their interpretive skills? If so, Kazdin and Shepard rate four stars for just tempos, bold colorations...

On the surface, their consumption of DDT appears to have caused them no harm. Blood tests and urinalysis conducted by Government physicians, says Loibl, "showed nothing out of the ordinary." But while the Loibls seem safe enough now, they could become ill in the future.
