His No. 2 man, former Security Police Chief Pedro Estrada, is lying low somewhere in the U.S., having entered on an immigrant's visa...
...many years longer than any of its earlier rivals. Its elliptical orbit varies between 404 miles and 2,466 miles above the earth. When it is ending its climb toward the high point (apogee), the satellite is moving slowest: only 12,000 m.p.h. Then it swoops down to the low point (perigee) and increases its speed to 18,400 m.p.h. It makes a full trip around the ellipse, 34,100 miles, in 134 minutes...

He laid out the medical complex in a low, three-story group within a 56-acre site, introduced inner landscaped courts, included sumptuous water gardens and fountains (see cut).

The race was only half over when it belonged to the black stallions rearing from the emblem on the red, low-slung noses of Italy's Ferraris. Ferrari Driver Peter Collins, 27, took time out for a mid-race rest and chirped happily: "Mission accomplished. We went like hell for a while to make them burn up if they were going to, and it worked...
