...when it gets past 1984. From the plane, a fabulous fiery sunset over the estuary of the Rio de la Plata, lights coming on in Uruguay and Argentina on either side of the river. Another sunset, seen from sea level, the eye drawn up walls of ocher, rust and dusty rose to the snow fields on the crest of the Chilean Andes. Everywhere, people of charm, energy, talent, incorrigibly attracted to non-Anglo-Saxon forms of government...
...before, do people sing along at these things?" -- she was a little bit bitchy. The material was exactly what you would expect: "Joe Hill," "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down," and an a cappella "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" -- very competent, sort of boring.

Mail can, of course, be picked up at the post office, but that involves renting a box at rates that just went up from $21.60 to $25 a year, or using a general-delivery window, which often...
...confinement in Spandau had a greater personal meaning for him than his important role in Nazi Germany. One reason is that the Nazi era lasted only twelve years, while Speer remained jailed in Spandau until 1966-a full 20 years. Originally built to house about 600 convicts, the mammoth, rust-red prison was requisitioned after World War II by the Allies for the sole purpose of locking up Speer and six other senior Nazi officials. To this day the U.S., Russia, Britain and France maintain a special commission (and a guard force of 25 to 30 men each...
