Striking Rojas in the abdomen, the .45-cal. slug shattered the spleen, then ripped through the diaphragm, punctured the left ventricle-the heart's major pumping chamber-and entered the aorta, the main artery of the body. Like a log in a swift stream, it was carried by the blood round the aorta's bend, down the chest into the left iliac, a major blood vessel feeding the leg, where it finally came to rest. Had the bullet taken a different course-blocking an artery to the head, say-Rojas would have died immediately...
...mark the occasion, a stream of dignitaries, including Queen Elizabeth II and Monaco's Prince Rainier and Princess Grace, will follow Spain's King Juan Carlos and French President Valery Giscard d'Estaing in paying their respects in Washington. Many countries have sent gifts to the U.S., though there is nothing to compare with France's centennial present of the Statue of Liberty. Britain has loaned to the U.S. for a year a copy of the Magna Carta, signed in 1215. (In like spirit, an anonymous U.S. institution helped the British government last week...
...least one all-important area, the accusation of fuzziness that has dogged Jimmy Carter throughout his 18-month campaign cannot fairly be sustained. In a stream of speeches, position papers and interviews, the Democratic front runner has expounded his ideas on all of the major, and some of the minor, questions of economic policy: jobs, prices, taxes, energy, even regulation of the trucking industry. No one who pays attention can miss his general drift: Carter is a mainstream Democrat, who offers primarily an updated version of the economic policies of the Kennedy and Johnson Administrations.

...Franco's waning days, the royal heir designate led a listless life sailing off Mallorca, skiing in Granada, toying with his Nikons and snipping ceremonial ribbons. Today he is at the center of the political vortex and shows a clear and subtle understanding of the conflicting currents. The stream of ministerial cars passing through the gates of Zarzuela Palace, his residence northwest of Madrid, indicates that the King has clout where it counts. Significantly, Juan Carlos is using that clout to receive not only ministers but opposition leaders like Ruiz-Gimenez and 35-year-old Socialist Leader Felipe Gonzalez...
...York Post Columnist Harriet Van Home if she can prove her suspicion that he did not write the book. In any event, the novel's action-which includes brutal multiple murders and an anticlimactic missile crisis-has less energy than the rancorous opinions that stream from the mouths of the characters. Many of these views are clearly Agnew's own, and a disproportionate number demonstrate that the former Vice President bears a chronic grudge against the press. Although The Canfield Decision is not a roman à clef, a nosy columnist named "Andy Jackerson" gets a going over...
