Harvey's body, weighted with chains and with a bullet hole in the head, was fished out of a canal near Palm Beach a few days later, but the Chillingworths were never found. Last week, after years of painstaking detective work, Florida police marked both cases as solved: the Chillingworths and young Harvey, announced Sheriff John Kirk, had all been killed by the same hired assassin...

Infinite hard work, self-denial and good direction had put a war-racked people back on its feet; in an exposed sector of the cold war, a trouble spot became a source of strength.

To make them more impressive, the accomplishments are the work of what would seem to be two political cats in a sack: fiery Benito Nardone, 53, a former traveling salesman who leads Uruguay's noisily reform-minded ruralistas, and wily Eduardo Victor Haedo, 59, a witty ex-teacher who bosses the rightist National (Blanco) Party.
