...sees business as a steppingstone to his ultimate goal: politics. The treasurer of the California Young Republicans, he worked in the Goldwater campaign. Barr, who also has a law degree, plans to spend the next ten years making enough money so that he can afford full-time politics. Still, he turned down a $25,000 offer from a consulting company and instead accepted $15,000 and commissions from a new firm that specializes in underwriting small and medium-sized issues. "I don't want to conform," says Barr, who likes the freedom that a smaller company offers...

In 1967, Chrysler raised its interest in the company to 77%. Barreiros was still president-and his brothers Valeriano, Graciliano and Celso were all members of the management group-but his family had only a minority voice.

The driven, half-poetic half-delusive doctor has become a worldwide legend in the past three years. Though his body was seen and identified, he is still rumored to be alive somewhere in the mountains of South America. If anyone doubts Che's death he has only to look at the celluloid coffin that bears his name...
...story still begins as generically as any Chandler. A detective is engaged to track a missing husband. The wife is alcoholic, inscrutable and intriguing. Armed with few clues and a feeling that he is embarked on a useless yet necessary quest, the detective proceeds to make a grand detour of the local underworld scene. What started out as a whodunit winds up as a "Who-am-I?" Separated from his home, and a victim of a sense of alienation to boot, the detective begins to identify with the missing husband and yearn for his own wife, to the point...
