...agitators into the streets. For two days they ran wild, ignoring Larrazábal's sportsmanlike concession of defeat-big news itself in a continent accustomed to ending vote counts with cries of fraud. Only a cloud of army tear gas stopped them. And although Ground Forces Commander Marco Aurelio Moros declared himself "sure that the armed forces will respect the will of the people," Pérez Jiménez-coddled officers have long been unshakably opposed to Betancourt...

Scouting for the Khan. In a season when all the streets of Manhattan's theater section seem eastbound,* assembling this chorus line took on a scope that recalled nothing less than the recruitment of Kublai Khan's harem. Like the Great Khan's emissaries-who, Marco Polo reported, graded their finds "at 16, 17 and 18 or more carats, according to the greater or lesser degree of beauty"-Rodgers and Hammerstein operatives went to work in Hong Kong, Paris, London, San Francisco, Chicago and New York.
