...Dumb. Others besides campesinos have experienced this unique presidential abrazo. Tin exports account for 78% of all Bolivia's foreign exchange, and tin miners are thus a potent group that strikes frequently. During one protest against Barrientos in 1967, the President went down into the mines to confront them. An angry miner held out a dynamite stick and, to scare the President, threatened to blow the assemblage higher than Bolivia's Andean Altiplano. Barrientos grabbed the stick, held it out to be lit and called the miner's bluff. Last year Barrientos took charge in the jungle...

The coach--arguing the officials should recognize a "correctable error"--ordered the scorer to press his buzzer, stopping play. Penn had shot and missed and Harvard had the ball, but, when the scorer stuck to his five foul tabulation, the officials tagged Harrison with a technical foul.

Dimly distinguishable in the half-light, two dozen or more toga-clad figures are arranged in random fashion around 14 raised platforms, lushly carpeted and joined together by a narrow walkway. Ghostly music emanates from unseen speakers; colored lights flicker over the ceiling and walls. New arrivals are led to platforms, helped into their own translucent togas and encouraged to doff as many of their clothes as they...
