...await the outcome of lawsuits, they also wonder about the possible impact on the local economy. "I've heard that some families who had put down deposits on new apartments have pulled out because they [are worried they] can't pay for them anymore," says Martínez. For Suaréz, the potential loss of what she calls her "piggy bank" could mean canceling summer vacations this year and postponing planned home renovations. But she worries most for some of her neighbors. "There are a lot of pensioners in this town who live off their Afinsa earnings," she says...
Every dog has his day, and with the publication of The Literary Dog by William E. Maloney and J.C. Suarès (Putnam; 126 pages; $14.95 hardcover, $7.95 paper), he also has his book. Decorated with works by Hogarth, Toulouse-Lautrec, Velazquez and other masters, this anthology bristles with canine tales, poems and anecdotes. With more than 100 selections from the likes of Shakespeare, Chekhov, Twain and Thurber, the result is more than mere doggerel. There are, for instance, Odysseus' faithful Argus, who waits 20 years for his master's return, Goldsmith's poor mongrel who dies...

That season's offering happened to be Moments with Mark Twain, so Benchley wondered whether "we may look for further books in this series in 1923, 1924, 1925, etc., to be entitled Half-Hours with Mark Twain ... Pleasant Week-Ends with Mark Twain, Indian Summer with Mark Twain. " Mutatis mutandis, this year's Twain anthology...
Gabaldón tentatively accepted the job, but added one condition: all political parties must be represented in the new government. Hard-bitten Lieut. Colonel Marcos Pérez Jiménez, the junta's boss, spurned the terms as "too idealistic." This week the junta installed German Suaréz Flammerich, ex-ambassador to Peru and a nonparty man like Gabaldón, as its new president. Flammerich presumably made no idealistic conditions. As for elections, which Venezuela has long hoped for, Boss Pérez Jiménez said that was a problem calling for "further study...
