...middle, President Jose Maria Guido, the ineffectual puppet installed after .Frondizi, pleaded for a truce. But the military rivals were beyond pacifying. As the shooting started, Guido, who at one point appeared to support the incumbent Democrats, now threw in his lot with the rebellious Legalists. It proved wise. After a series of sharp battles, the Democrats were driven from Buenos Aires. The victorious Legalists proclaimed themselves in charge and called for elections to return to constitutional rule...
...first glance it seems a monument to absent-mindedness-a potpourri of unrelated products from bread-bagging machines to rocket launchers, all stuffed improbably under the wing of one of the nation's most anonymous corporate giants.

Writers even troubled themselves with the identity of the anonymous mourner who sent $50 worth of roses to the funeral-together with a love sonnet from...
...involved in building projects scheduled to house the arts in 70 cities. It has even developed into a kind of competition. Local boosters now tout their cities' artistic attractions more than their rail connections, and the effort is paying off: IBM's choice of Rochester, Minn., San Jose, Calif., and Westchester, N.Y., for new locations was swayed by the lively cultural life in those areas. In Cincinnati, Procter & Gamble mails a brochure on local cultural events to potential recruits. Projects to woo the muses and the masses are now big business, and range in scope and ambition from...
