...than their individual parts. Just before Home's curtain falls, the two men stand apart to the right and left of the stage. In a vise of silence, they gaze sightlessly out at the ever-dimming light. That moment forms an ineradicably poignant image of man's homeless...
...estimates civilian casualties at about 1,800; the guerrillas claim 10,000 are dead. "God is my witness," said Arafat in a letter to Arab heads of state. "A massacre has been committed.

Aid poured in from sympathetic countries, among them France, Spain and Yugoslavia. Cuba's Fidel Castro flamboyantly donated a pint of his blood. Last week Pat Nixon flew south for a two-day visit to the disaster areas, the first such foreign mission ever undertaken by a First Lady. Air Force One, which carried her there, was piled high with gifts for the Peruvians. A second plane was even more loaded...
