Chalk is now beginning to get some competition from a second Spanish-language tabloid, El Tiempo, which changed from a weekly to a daily last October. Edited by Stanley Ross, 52, a controversial Latin American hand who put out El Diario from 1955 until 1963 when he broke with Chalk, El Tiempo carries more news about Latin America than El Diario and less about New York.

Bogotá's El Tiempo reported an anonymous call from a woman who warned that the Simacota raid was the first phase of "Operación Esperanza"-Operation Hope. "Soon you will have another surprise," she said. Figuring one such surprise was enough, President Valencia ordered helicopter-equipped anti-guerrilla troops into the hills to hunt down Mariela and her marauders...
