Naylor, moved up from his normal 130-position to 137, took 28 seconds slower than that to dispose of his man. The sophomore used a lateral drop to take Vie Antes from standing position to his back...
There was nothing but silence, however, from modern art's most famous master. "Monsieur and Madame are not at home," squawked a loudspeaker hooked up to the electronically operated gate of his villa, Notre Dame de Vie. A few intimate glimpses of life within still leak out to the world. A recent visitor recalls a prudent Picasso who has sworn off chain-smoking Gauloises, drinks carrot juice at teatime, guzzles thyme tea at other times, and sips wine only sparingly. A lifetime of painter's discipline has not changed. After dinner, Picasso leaps up, announces: "Now I must...
...spend $1,600,000 of that sum, Millionaire Shapp has made Shafer look like Scrooge. In Philadelphia and Pittsburgh alone, the Democrat's homely, intense visage peers out from 180 buses and 400 taxis. Along highways from the Alleghenies to the Poconos, 1,200 bright orange Shapp billboards vie with the autumn foliage; 80 radio stations play his 30-and 60-second spots ("If you liked William Penn, you'll love Milton Shapp").

The troubles are classified in four major groups...
Sense of Un-Togetherness. Ecuador's troubles make the rest of Latin America look like a model of stability. No fewer than 15 political parties and factions constantly vie for attention, and jungle, coastal swampland and Andean peaks divide the country into three mutually suspicious regions. To add to the sense of un-togetherness, 1% of the population owns 60% of the land, and in the bleak highlands, where half of the country's 5,000,000 people live in medieval squalor and ignorance, hacienda owners pay their workers as little as 5? a day. The four...
