Presidential elections in Venezuela are almost a year away, but the campaign drums are already beating wildly for one unannounced candidate: Vice Admiral Wolfgang Larrazábal, 50, a leftist maverick who bossed the military junta that ruled for ten months after the 1958 ouster of Dictator Marcos Pérez Jiménez. Openly supported by the Communists, the darkly handsome Larrazábal ran a close race with President Rómulo Betancourt in the elections that followed, and then was sent into semi-exile as Venezuela's Ambassador to Chile. Last week Larrazábal returned...
...Oklahoman -and an oilman. He fought savagely for continuance of the 27½% oil-depletion tax allowance; all the while he remained chairman of the board of Kerr-McGee Oil Industries Inc., and sneered at conflict-of-interest charges.

Argentine artillery fired on Argentine tanks; Argentine air force planes strafed Argentine infantrymen. Bewildered civilians wandered through Buenos Aires' streets, sunny in the . South American spring, holding transistor radios to their ears and trying to figure out what they were fighting about...
...buoyant and confident of ultimate vindication, Merriam plans to appeal the presbytery's action to the synod of New York State, and, if necessary, to the church's General Assembly as well. His chances of success are small. Thanks to Merriam's outspoken behavior since the ouster, more ministers than ever are convinced that he was the wrong man to handle so sensitive a call as the Broadway church; and they believe that under Presbyterian law they were fully justified in removing him. "Our presbytery," says Dr. Henry Barraclough, a retired Associate Stated Clerk and an expert...
