The first half was from the Agency for International Development, he explained, and the second half was from the CIA, largely to help Eduardo Frei beat Marxist Salvador Allende in the next presidential election. Vekemans, who has now shifted his base of operations to Bogota, refused to give his version of the tale last week...

On her first-ever visit to New York City, Summer talked about her victory ("My first thought was to thank the Lord") and her recent trip to Niagara Falls ("That's where my honeymoon is going to be").
