Mercado meant his voice to carry, and it did. Washington is dismayed these days by the fact that once friendly, conservative military men like those in the Peruvian junta have become as vociferously anti-Yanqui as the left-wingers who spat at and stoned Richard Nixon a decade ago when he visited South America as Vice President. Peru's rulers have seized a U.S. oil subsidiary called International Petroleum Co., and refuse even to discuss reparations with parent Standard Oil of New Jersey. Indeed, the Peruvians claim that I.P.C. owes them another $17 million. Two weeks ago a perennial...
...only safe haven during Europe's dangerous Dark JL Ages and beyond was the castle, with its great moat, drawbridge and armed men glaring from the turrets.

Zappa, a 28-year-old musician with a sociological bent, notes: "Every trade has its groupies. Some chicks dig truck drivers. Some go for men in uniform-the early camp followers. Ours go for rock musicians...
Class Strata. Though everyone on the rock scene is aware of the groupie phenomenon, it is next to impossible to know how many there are-mainly because rock stars, like most young men, tend to brag about their conquests. They come, says Zappa, "from any home that has contact with rock and roll and with radio and records. That's everybody." Zappa contends that there are thousands of them, ranging in age all the way from 50 ("Although they have to look damned good at that age to get any action") down...
