...heart-shaped crystal pendant with the tiny figures of Eve and the serpent, is believed by Parke-Bernet's expert, John Hayward, to be either Italian or Spanish. One of the loveliest gems in the Gutman collection is a 17th century enameled gold votive crown by an anonymous Peruvian goldsmith. It was probably commissioned by a grateful grandee whose prayer to a saint or the Virgin had been answered, and was intended to be reverently set before the saint's altar in some unknown church...
Disintegrating Relations. Valdés' message, relayed to Washington from Santiago, contained four face-saving provisos for the sovereignty-conscious Peruvian junta. Velasco would receive a U.S. emissary, but that representative must be 1) a high-level personage, 2) President Nixon's special representative, 3) armed with discretionary powers to negotiate broadly, and 4) willing to come to Lima. The Administration has been increasingly concerned over its disintegrating hemispheric relations; at his press conference two weeks ago, President Nixon ruefully admitted that imposing the Hickenlooper Amendment would have an anti-American domino effect all over South America.

...devious ax murderer-or murderers. On the squash court of New York's Eli Club, Professor Bertram Langsam loses his head and thumb. Ferdinand Fields, an Episcopal rector partial to horror flicks, is decapitated in the men's room of a Long Island railroad train by a Peruvian sun priestess turned tramp. Whittaker Duchamp, bogus play producer, is more fortunate: he only loses an ear. The bloody trail is also strewn with a vengeful rabbi, scheming and pathetic women, a semi-transvestite, and other odd characters who are for the most part linked...
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...
