...army has taken over. The departmental capital of Huancayo, 120 miles east of Lima near the heart of guerrilla activity, swarms with soldiers and military vehicles. On nearby air fields, military transports land with supplies, while helicopters and bomb-laden twin-jet Canberra bombers stand ready for takeoff. In the field some 1,500 soldiers−advised by U.S. anti-guerrilla experts−are committed against the Red terrorists...
...record for a season. Where's Arnie? With only one victory and $27,712 in official earnings, he was not even among the top 20 money winners. Light Fantastic. Not that Nicklaus has been working all that hard.

Police planted intelligence agents among his servants, closed in when Odell, who had rented a villa nearby, showed up for lunch fortnight ago. Amin was jailed, and Odell was questioned for an hour, forced to turn over what...
...painstaking crafts practiced at home, few achieve the twin goals of practicality and artistry as well as does quilting. The art is nearly as old as the needle. Medieval knights wore quilted clothing under their chain mail, but not until the early 18th century did the English develop quilting to a level of elegant decoration. Yet it was their colonists in America who turned this knack of needlework into a way of life...
