...President Juan Carlos Ongania for two hours of frank talk in Spanish, which Rockefeller speaks well. While the members of his task force, armed with tape recorders, fanned out to talk with local counterparts in fields as diverse as exports and hospitals, the Governor huddled in secret with antigovernment students.

When it comes to a seduction scenario, few contemporary eroticists could match the subtlety of an anonymous 17th-century poet in reciting a pastoral love-in between a fair...
