The opposition's leader: Gustavo Rojas Pinilla, 64, a deposed and discredited ex-dictator who is making a surprising comeback. Right now, Rojas and his followers are little more than a swarm of annoying gnats, but the swarm is growing...
...season when northerners finally shuck "winter sickness" and speak soulfully of the Good Life. Above all, the good life of summer is for the young. Graduating high school students, wearing old-fashioned visored caps, swarm through the cities celebrating their freedom. Stockholm's pimply raggare, teenage rowdies who drive battered U.S. cars, roar up the Kungs-gatan, stop to pick up a nymphet, then roar off again.

Sweeney Jr., commander of the U.S. Tactical Air Command-aboard to direct the massive protective operation. In the air, each of the three 707s was picked up by a swarm of highflying jet F-105s armed with "Catling" guns able to fire 6,000 shots a minute, F-100s with rockets and cannons, F-4Cs with the deadly Sidewinder missile, F-104s and Navy F-4Bs with Sidewinders and cannon, and F-101s, F-102s and F-106s with Falcon...
