...generalissimo can hardly slap them en masse behind bars-or expect to find more compliant replacements for them. On the other hand, if "this attempt to help bring about a varying of opinion and the democratic evolution of the country," as one Deputy put it, is allowed to succeed, it could well become the focal point of dissent against Franco's rule...
...West Africa. Seemingly, the French cannot lose. If Biafra wins, they may get a good deal on the oil. Should events take a turn for the worse, France probably will help Biafra set up a government-in-exile here in Gabon. If, as seems possible, French arms shipments succeed in prolonging the war one or two years, then even if Biafra is defeated, an exhausted Nigeria will not be a threat for some time to come.

The great apes are too scarce, and too reluctant to breed in captivity to be a source of supply. Before animals' hearts can escape rejection, researchers will have to outwit the genetic code and raise special breeds-a matter of years...
Kittenish Ball. As the prizewinners indicate, interaction must both precede and succeed innovation. Each work unites art and technology so successfully that it responds to a human touch or noise almost as though it were alive.

Robin Parkinson's sonically activated...
Outgoing President Raúl Leoni has cut so many ribbons inaugurating public works during the campaign that opponents claim he keeps a pair of scissors in his pocket. Leoni cannot constitutionally succeed himself, but his appearances aid Acción Democrática's candidate. He is Gonzalo Barrios, 65, an adroit and tough politician who, as Interior Minister, put down Venezuela's Castroite rebels...
