...Colombian islands of San Andrés and Providencia, two palm-shaded dots in the Caribbean off Nicaragua, are predominantly Protestant, partly through ancient precedent.

...Porfirio Rubirosa "mutually decided that it is wisest for us to separate." The honeymoon had been a mishmash of thrills (Rubi finished second in the Sebring twelve-hour sports-car endurance race), spills (Babs broke an ankle in her Manhattan bathroom), and finally chills (Babs left Rubirosa in their Palm Beach mansion last week and moved in with her aunt).
