...Brave Bull. Domingo, who was born in Madrid in 1941, once hoped to become a matador when he grew up. By the time he fought his first bull, though, he was 14 and living with his parents in Mexico City. It was in a small ring where young bulls were tested for bravery. The one selected for Placido was very brave-braver, in fact, than Placido, who was badly battered; then and there he gave up the corrida for a career in music...

Dick and Pat will spend two nights in Belgrade with President Tito, lunch with Queen Elizabeth, and briefly visit Prime Minister Edward Heath outside London. They will see Pope Paul VI at the Vatican, spend a night with Italian President Giuseppe Saragat, visit Spain's Francisco Franco in Madrid. Before flying home, the Nixons will seek grave sites of ancestors in the Irish countryside southwest of Dublin. Perhaps the biggest symbolic point of the trip is that it takes the President in and near the ancient regions where Western culture has its roots, and where U.S. security interests...
