...Unser, the youngest brother of the 1968 winner. Unser broke his leg in a motorcycle accident last spring, and missed Indy, and many of the following races on the USAC championship trail. He won several races late in the season, and finally finished second to 500 winner Mario Andretti in the National Championship. His car, owned by the 1963 500 winner Parnelli Jones, has been the fastest car at the track all this month.

Chicago last month began its own peripatetic school. Kansas City, San Francisco, Hartford and Washington...

The ruling Revolutionary Party's Mario Fuentes Pierrucini drew 195,000, and 117,000 went to Moderate Leftist Jorge ("Big Lucas") Caballeros, who argued that the violence should be stopped "not with a stick but with bread and work." Arana's formal selection by the Congress is regarded as a foregone conclusion...
...direction of Peace Corps officials, Keye and his partners, Art Director Mario Donna and Media Specialist Len Pearlstein, are at work on a new campaign aimed less at college idealists and more at mature craftsmen. (The corps has no age limit.) "The need now is to attract middle-class working America," says Keye. Accordingly, one ad in the agency's proposed new campaign proclaims, "The Peace Corps is looking for people who can speak two languages-American and plumbing." Another ad, aimed at Negro newspapers, says, "If the Peace Corps is lily white, it's your fault...
