...columns and killed him. Still farther south, 500 yds. from the tower, Electrical Repairman Roy Dell Schmidt, 29, walked toward his truck after making a call, was killed by a bullet in the stomach.

That Tinker's Toy. Caro creates by adding pieces to a growing work. He may start by suspending a steel circle from the roof, or by resting a bar against a packing crate. Then, prowling through the work, he alters the angles like a tinker with a giant toy. He likes to work in a confined space to prevent stepping back, taking an overall look and possibly making cliche changes for symmetry's sake.

A ragged hamlet located about 15 miles from the Haitian border, it is the home of 500-odd campesinos who scratch out a living by growing maize and rice in sun-baked clay that scarcely tolerates thorny scrub and cactus. Inside the Marichal bohio (palm-bark walls, thatched roof, oddments of homemade furniture), a nine-year-old boy sprawls shirtless on the concrete floor, unraveling the thread from an old silk stocking.
