...that Chilenos had not quite expected. Seven months ago, he put a crimp in the national afternoon siesta by banning the three-hour lunch break. Then came a prohibition of movies after midnight and the closing of television stations at 11:45 p.m. "A nation that goes to bed late cannot work well the next day," the government explained...
...sash. Then an alligator wants to eat her. Thinking fast, she trades her little blue dress for her life. And so it goes, as tropical stripteaser Little White Squibba faces more perils than Pauline. Squibba is the heroine of a just-published British children's book by the late Helen Bannerman, famed for her 1899 classic Little Black Sambo.

Its most staggering nest egg, donated last May, is Joseph Hirshhorn's $25 million collection of painting and sculpture, which is destined for its own building on the Capitol mall but will be administered by the Smithsonian. Last week the Smithsonian received a second bonanza: 102 paintings assembled for S.C. Johnson & Son, Inc., four years ago. Under the title "Art: USA," they traveled 70,000 miles through 14 countries on three continents to become the most...
