...embassy has tried any number of schemes to ease what one weary applicant called "organized chaos": newspaper ads advising British tourists to apply early and by mail for standard three-week service; white boxes where rush customers can drop their passports and applications and be mailed a visa the same day; black boxes for the truly desperate, who can drop off their passports and applications and pick up a visa three hours later. But these efforts have not cleared away the crush, just pushed it onto the street. U.S. Consul General Alan Gise attributes the upsurge to the "Laker legacy...
...specific-or so obsessed-as Lanford Wilson is in his saga of the Talley family of Lebanon, Mo. Talley's Folly took place on July 4, 1944, and Fifth of July opened on the same night, 33 years later.

The latest addition to the Archbishop's porcine parish listened beatifically...
...only Americans even close to the field are the three five-man Green Beret "small unit training teams," which conduct two-and three-week training programs for Salvadoran infantry companies. They are members of the 7th Special Forces Battalion based in Panama. All are fluent in Spanish, and most have previously served on similar training teams in other Central or South American countries. TIME Correspondent William McWhirter, who conducted the only interviews given by these officers, found them determined to approach their assignment with cool professionalism. "The only change for us is that there is a shooting war going...
