...bustle of market-bound housewives, the political police closed in on the grill-windowed colonial house numbered 12/1. After a thundering fusillade, the cops charged upstairs and captured Alberto Carnevali, 36, commander of the underground resistance to Venezuela's provisional President, Colonel Marcos Pérez Jiménez...

After a two-hour session during which Villalba stoutly refused to commit U.R.D. assembly members against a boycott until after a party convention in January, secret police seized the six men at the minister's door, held them incommunicado overnight, and next morning shipped them by government plane to Panama. Handed their passports in mid-air by the pilot, the U.R.D. leaders were dumped at Panama without money, a change of clothes or even their toothbrushes...
