Bait the Analyst. A typical group that met last month in Bach's stylish sunken Hollywood living room included the doctor and his wife Peggy, the Negro manager of a nearby gas station, an industrial designer and his actress wife, a woman composer in her mid-20s and her boy friend, a young couple married only a year, a marriage counselor, a middle-aged couple, and two psychiatrists.

Last week, after a tough fire fight, government forces finally reached the sunken ship. Aboard it and in caches nearby were at least 100 tons of arms, ammo and supplies, including nearly a million rounds of small-arms ammunition, 2,000 Mauser rifles, 1,000 submachine guns and 500 Ibs. of medical supplies from North Viet Nam, Communist China, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Russia and-oddly enough-Japan.
