...frustrated, Weltschmertz becomes "sick"; he assists two lost souls to break through the barrier of earth into the void. The souls, Hector and Gnatalia (in a vague way Adam and Eve figures), pollute the atmosphere of the void; so much so that Rex Regis, a vice-President, must call upon Plantagenet to psychoanalyze Nathan, and persuade Him that He can in fact control His planet in His own way. And that the Doctor does, with what an earlier school of reviewing would call many riotous consequences...
There are still, of course, the two most confusing characters of all: Hector (Harry Low Simons) and Gnatalia (Carolyn Mercer) who drift across the stage with cryptic sneers apparently wondering why Wolfson put them there. Yet what they must say they say with dignity. And David Gilfillan has designed a magnificently intricate machine...
...assassinated last May as he rode to a rendezvous with his mistress, the fiefdom fell into the uncertain hands of his son and heir, Rafael ("Ramfis") Trujillo Jr., 32, who with U.S. approval was doing his best to arrange a peaceful transition.

His Uncle Arismendi sailed off across the Caribbean in the frigate Presidente Trujillo. His Uncle Hector cruised the same sea in the family yacht Angelita. He surrendered eight sugar mills.

Last week, as time drew near for the U.S. quid pro quo at an OAS meeting in Washington, López Molina was "found...

The Reds, on the other hand, continued to swoon at the very sight of Yankee pitching. Outfielders Vada Pinson (.343 season average) and Frank Robinson (.323) managed only five hits between them in five games. Poker-faced Pitcher Ford extended his string of scoreless World Series innings to 32, and broke Babe Ruth's favorite record. For a team that had every right to crow, the Yankees were...
