...Caracas resembles a collage of advertising posters. At night its plazas glitter and bustle with popular rallies. Next Sunday is election day, and Venezuelans are enjoying the campaign with the enthusiasm of a people liberated from dictatorial rule only ten years ago. No fewer than 28 parties are competing for congressional seats, and have festooned the capital with tigers, roosters, flying saucers and other party symbols. In one square, the chief opposition presidential candidate, Rafael Caldera, head of the Social Christian Party, has a huge calendar ticking off the days until el cambio, "the change."

Possibly the most exciting scene in this distinctly lethargic drama is the one in which she is undressed by her captor...
...every game and plays for two or three series of downs before being replaced by Georges. For the rest of the game Georges is used primarily to blitz the passer and contain the outside run, MacLean to stop the up-the-middle run. This is not a hard-fast rule, however. Often, one just comes in when the other gets tired...
