...Carbondale, 1,000 students surrounded a small group of Iranians and virtually held them captive until police moved in. But the patience of some police is wearing thin. Assigned to guard a group of Iranian demonstrators outside the hospital where the Shah is staying, a New York City cop muttered, "Just let one of those bastards open his goddam mouth...
...ominous noise in the kitchen turns out to be the ice maker; and yes, the ghastly face visible when a door is jerked open belongs to a cop, not the murderer.

Today, however, the Caribbean can no longer be considered an "American Lake." Travel ads entice U.S. tourists with the promise of swaying palms and unspoiled vistas of sandy beach. But the nationalistic winds sweeping through the Third World...
