Students by and large saw him as a jet-setter, "an eccentric Southern aristocrat" always "flying off the Rio or something." But Simpson doesn't remember Spiro making outrageous boasts. When newspapers reported Pavlovich as having a silver-blue Mercedes Benz, wearing three-piece suits to class and bragging of a Rhodes Scholarship, Simpson was surprised. When he saw Pavlovich, he says, "He drove a blue Plymouth and wore plain corduroy coats. He said he had studied in England, but not on a Rhodes...
Senator Tower's office requested that the $2.2 million migrant-worker-program grant be given to the pro-Administration Lower Rio Grande Valley Development Council as opposed to the consortium of OEO CAP agencies.

...embryonic Adolfs are brought to term in the wombs of compliant Indian women, then sent to Rio and put on the world adoption market.

Whether or not Communist leaders are sincere in promoting liberty, such ideas will inevitably "create in workers and militants a new pattern of thought" favorable to democracy. Soares also thinks that keeping Communists in the Portuguese...
...teau potatoes, cheese, apricot pastry, Chablis Vaudésir and Château Haut-Brion, plus liqueurs. Many passengers paid the smoothness of supersonic flight the ultimate compliment; they fell asleep. We touched down in Dakar, West Africa, right on schedule, refueled and were on our way to Rio in an hour. A minor engine problem held our speed below mach 1 for an extra 20 min., but it was corrected and we landed in Rio at 4:10 p.m. local time, 40 min. behind schedule. It didn't matter. We had sipped Gevrey Chambertin (1961) at twice...
