One of them, Dominican Ambassador Diogenes Mallol, praised Colombian President Julio César Turbay Ayala for handling "this problem with prudence and calm," adding that "only in the beginning were we in danger because the terrorists were very nervous. Then everything calmed down." Another, Venezuelan Ambassador Virgilio Lovera, jubilantly told reporters: "I feel like running a mile in the Olympics...

Indeed, his work in three dimensions was so magisterial that it blotted out the rest of his output. For Smith was not only a sculptor, but a draftsman, and his drawings, thousands in number, were...
...drivers crowd the streets and snarl traffic during a three-day strike to protest a 58% rise in gasoline prices. Meanwhile, riots break out in the Dominican Republic, and three people are killed after gas prices jump for the third time in a year. Says Colombia's President Julio Ayala: "One OPEC price rise is equal to ten subversive blows...
