...last major outlaw remaining at large is Pedro Antonio Marín, 32, who goes under the aliases of "Marulanda" and "Tiro Fijo" (''Sure Shot"). A bragging Communist, he leads a band of 300 and rules a fief in the hills of south western Colombia by both persuasion and force. The army is cutting away his peasant support with a program of roads, medical aid and agricultural advice. Patrols are pressing the hunt...
...dawn of the Spanish Renaissance, an elaborately carved and colonnaded patio was the pet and pride of Don Pedro Fajardo, first Marquis of Vélez and fifth governor of the Kingdom of Murcia. At the turn of the 20th century, the patio became the proud possession of Financial Baron George Blumenthal, onetime president of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. When his Park Avenue mansion was razed in 1945, the 2,000 numbered marble blocks of the patio were tucked away in the Met's attic. Last week its pearly facades were dedicated as part of the museum...
President Johnson was almost as enthusiastic, and forthwith sent his "warmest good wishes" to the new President, Paschoal Ranieri Mazzilli.

Last week Pedro Marin Marulanda, a well-known Red who calls himself "Sure Shot," destroyed an army helicopter, murdered its two crewmen and kidnaped the passengers. Bandit Frederico Arango, who was killed last year, had a five-foot bookshelf of Communist bestsellers, including Che Guevara's Guerrilla Warfare. Pedro Brincos, also killed...
...insult to their national dignity. In last June's national elections every major-and minor-party denounced the oil company. The army had already called the agreement "injurious to national sovereignty." Major newspapers were against I.P.C.-even La Prensa, Lima's prestigious daily owned by former Premier Pedro Beltrán, who is probably the best friend U.S. businessmen ever had in Peru. The end of I.P.C.'s privileged position, said La Prensa, was "an aspiration of all Peruvians...
