...miles off the coast of Chile in the Pacific, have held an abiding fascination for generations of archaeologists. Maziere has new theories about the men who produced them and why, though the impact of his research is somewhat blunted by the fact that boulder-size chunks were lifted from previous work by an obscure Capuchin priest named Father Sebastian Englert...
...MAKING OF THE PRESIDENT 1968, by Theodore H. White. Whether following the poetic figure of Eugene McCarthy into the night or documenting Richard Nixon's electronic conquest of the nation, White is just as diligent as he was in his accounts of the two previous presidential races. However, his protagonist lacks the kind of flamboyance that fires up White's romantic mind, and as a result, a gray pall hangs over much of the book...

This summer's biggest outbreak was a three-night June melee without fatalities in Omaha...

Finch asked that the move be delayed until December, contending that...
...hard time using it. The Nixons entertain so much that Agnew has been called on only once to throw an official dinner. The Agnews live in a four-bedroom Sheraton-Park Hotel suite, which they find adequate despite its obvious contrast with their previous quarters, the 54-room Maryland Governor's mansion in Annapolis. Their counterpart of San Clemente is the same paint-flecking seashore cottage in Maryland that they have rented for years. A big Saturday night at the Agnews' consists of Judy cooking spaghetti and the family then settling down to watch a current-run movie...
