In this episode, we delve into a gripping tale of political intrigue and personal vendetta set against the backdrop of a fictional Latin American country. The story unfolds with Mama Pilar, a devoted mother and skilled cook, who is driven by a desire for revenge after her son, Ramon, is killed by the oppressive regime of General Zorria. As Pilar plots to avenge her son, she navigates a world of danger and deception, ultimately finding herself in a position to serve the dictator a meal that could change everything.

Meanwhile, we explore the personal struggles of Marge and Pete Miller, a young American couple caught in the political turmoil. Marge grapples with her principles and the demands of her husband's work, which requires them to engage with the very regime she despises. Their relationship is tested as they confront moral dilemmas and the harsh realities of life under a dictatorship.

The episode also touches on themes of power, loyalty, and the lengths to which individuals will go to seek justice and uphold their beliefs. With a mix of suspense and drama, this story offers a thought-provoking look at the complexities of human nature and the impact of political power on personal lives.

CBS News. The House Judiciary Committee is waiting for an answer from the White House on two sets of tapes and materials.   I'm Anne Krosman reporting on the CBS Radio Network.   The committee has subpoenaed one set of 11 tapes related to Watergate, and the deadline for a White House answer is Wednesday.   James St. Clair, the president's chief Watergate lawyer, says he knows of no change in mister Nixon's decision not to obey the subpoena.   The committee has also requested a set of tapes related to the milk fund and the IT and T case.   St. Clair said late Tuesday that he, quote, still has not received instructions from the president on those matters.  

Committee chairman Rodino has said that if those materials are not turned over voluntarily,   he will seek a subpoena for them. President Nixon took a dinner cruise on the presidential yacht Sequoia Tuesday night. Mister Nixon invited James St. Clair, lawyer j Fred Buzhardt, and chief of staff Alexander Haig.   More news after this.

Jeb Stuart McGruder, former number two man on the president's reelection committee, was sentenced Tuesday to between ten months and four years in prison for his part in planning the Watergate break in and helping to cover up the break in. Magruder told federal judge John Sirica,   I lost my ethical compass,   and my ambition obscured my judgment.   Magruder and former White House counsel John Dean were the first White House insiders   to tell federal prosecutors about details of a cover up plan.   Secretary of state Kissinger continues his Mid Mideast peace efforts, but there is now some question whether he'll be able to finalize a plan for troop pullbacks on the Syrian front by the end of the week.   CBS News diplomatic correspondent, Marvin Kalb, reports from Jerusalem.  



[00:03:25] Unknown:

Kissinger had scheduled a post midnight meeting with top Israeli leaders, including prime minister Gold in a year, but it was canceled.   The reason unclear.   Kissinger returned to Jerusalem looking tired, his voice hoarse.   He had spent five hours with Syrian president Hafez Assad in Damascus,   after which his spokesman, Robert Anderson, told reporters   that the line of disengagement   between the two sides was now virtually set.   Kissinger, before leaving the Syrian capital,   said that progress had been registered in certain areas, but he was not specific.   The secretary promised to return to the Syrian capital on Wednesday.  

But here in Israel, there is the suggestion that Kissinger is now running into major problems, and he may not be able to complete the disengagement agreement this week.   He says that he wants to return to Washington this weekend,   a fact that tends to reduce his bargaining chances.   One knowledgeable Israeli source says he still has a fifty fifty chance of finishing the deal this week, but it is a fact here that the odds are shrinking rather than rising that he will succeed.   Marvin Kalb, CBS News, Jerusalem.

Prisoners at the Jackson County Jail in Kansas City have taken three guards hostage and are demanding to meet with news media representatives.   The prisoners have been told they must let the hostages go before any such meeting can take place. A county official says the group of prisoners is armed with hammers and chains.   About one third of the votes have been counted in Pennsylvania's Democratic primary election. In the race for senate nomination,   Herbert Denenburg, former state insurance commissioner, holds a slight lead over Pittsburgh Mayor Thomas Flaherty.   It was a close vote, but the house has rejected the standby emergency energy bill, which would have rolled prices of domestic crude oil back to pre embargo levels.  

The bill also would have given the president the power to ration gasoline.   The White House has said that mister Nixon would veto the bill because he believes the rollback would end all incentive the oil companies need to expand their domestic production.

It's small,   dark,   narrow,   but don't let that put you off.   Seated at his usual table near the door is a chubby, pleasant looking middle aged man named Siriaco.   Siriaco is unable to talk,   but his guitar   speaks for him.  

Tonight, the only customers in the place are Pete and Marge Miller,   and they are obviously young,   North American,   and newly married.

What appointments have I this afternoon, Escobar?   Doctor Suarez is still here at any moment.   Then the young North American engineer,   senior Peter Miller. Is there more meat? My leader, what will doctor Suarez say when he sees you have broken your diet? I am starved.   Doctor Suarez. I'll get rid of that slop. I gave you a diet.   What are you doing?   I must eat. I'm not a boy. I'm a man. You're a self indulgent fat slob. Si Escobar.   See how he talks to me. Here you address our leader. Hey, quiet. You obscene little rodent.  

You open your shirt. I don't care if the man is a doctor. He must have respect Doctor. Suarez,   why don't you like me? Roll up your sleeve. I will take your blood pressure. I tolerate you because you are the best doctor in the country.   But take care now how you provoke me.   Be motherless. It's exactly my prescription for you. But I cannot live without good food, wine.   Then die.   You're not the only doctor in the nation.   Indeed not. Fetch some quack, some boot licking flatterer. Tell him what to prescribe.   I'm sure the charlatan will oblige you. And in three months, you will be a dead man.  

Good day.   I will be here tomorrow.   He's right.   The dog's   moderation.   I'll I'll see the North American.   Send in, senor Peter Miller.   Moderation.   Moderation and abstinence.   That's the way to live forever.   You must keep me to that diet, Escobar.   Keep me to that diet. Yes. Your excellency?   Yes, sir.   I have here the report on all the preliminary studies. Have you, yes, sir. An overall program to build hospitals, schools, bridges, aqueducts, drain swamps, so that we can transform the entire country.   Can you? If not, you'll examine these papers. Enough, sir. Sir? Be silent.   Mister Millet, do you know what you are?  

You, sir, are a barbarian.   You enter a man's office and with absolutely no regard for   for the amenities,   you start slapping your business documents all over his desk. That's a thousand pardons, your Is it your impression that you will have me sign these documents and be on an aircraft bound for The United States within the hour? No, sir. I'm I'm completely at your disposal, sir.   I, understand your lovely wife is with you.   How is she?   Yeah. That's fine. We shall hold a reception in her honor tonight at the palace.   I'm   I'm afraid she's not feeling well. It's been a long trip, but she's not a good traveler. Oh, I am sorry.

He was a traitor.   A criminal.   Is there a family?   He never spoke of anyone.   These ambitious country boys.   They get big ideas.   And soon they grow ashamed of the old peasant mama back on the farm.   Where whoever she is,   whoever she may be,   let her believe her boy died a hero.  

Say something nice on the radio, Escobar.   Yes, my friends.   This brilliant young soldier, a hero of the Holy Revolution,   was one of our leaders closest companions.   Patriots,   mourn for the man our leader called   my friend Ramon.

Oh, thank you, Siriaco.   Oh, thank you.   And now, dear friend, we must practice.   I I I will stand outside the palace gate and wait for him to come.   Now you pretend to be the pig.   Now now you are leaving the palace.   Start walking toward me.   I call   out, my leader.   You you hear a woman's voice. You look. You see   a peasant.   Her face, it it shines with adoration. I hold out this bouquet and because you are a depraved and evil man, the sight of sincerity must always amuse you. You step forward to receive my homage, my gift.   I I extend it eagerly, lovingly.  

And as you reach out to take it,   my right hand withdraws the knife from inside the flowers   and I step   and thrust.

Mama Pilar has prepared many a peppery plate in her lifetime.   But now she is assembling the ingredients for the most pungent dish of all,   revenge.   The recipe will come to a boil   when I return shortly   with act two. You've been hearing some pretty lavish claims recently about miles per gallon. We'd like you to consider something equally important, and that's range.   Range is the miles per gallon multiplied by the number of gallons your car's tank holds.   Range is what makes the Buick Apollo such a special small car.   It comes from coupling the Apollo's economical six cylinder engine with a standard 21 gallon tank. It holds a lot, but it doesn't use a lot. Look into the Apollo.  

It's the Buick of small cars.

The only organized resistance to Eduardo, Guillermo, Carlos, Vicente, Zorrhea   known as the pig   is assembled in this room.   My precious pillar,   the strong and the quick are now the weak and the dead.   You stood by while that obscene swine destroyed the resistance.   Now you call on it to avenge your son. Our son.   Oh,   I would have acknowledged him.   I would have married you. What kind of man marries a woman out of pity? What kind of woman denounces a man out of hate?   Is there any   new business?  

Any proposals?   I propose   we kill the pig. There has already been violence enough.   Other resolutions?   None?   Unless the chair hears to the contrary, this meeting stands adjourned.   Good night, Pilar.   Good night, Roberto.   Good night, Siriaco.

Oh, remember Siriaco,   the little American girl who read me the letter?   He looks like a pig, she said.   Just like that.   A skinny little girl   looks at his picture and says,   pig.   You know what makes her so wise, said Diaco.   She thinks. Oh, there you have it. She and Roberto,   thinkers.   They would say,   we have a problem.   What is the most effective way to kill a   pig?   But what do they know about killing pigs? They are thinkers, philosophers, aristocrats.   Oh, no. I know how to kill a pig. Oh, oh, tell me, silly echo. Tell me.   Do I know how to kill a pig?  



[00:38:54] Unknown:

There are probably many ways to kill a pig,   but all of them have one basic requirement for success.   It is necessary first   to have your pig firmly in hand.   Till now,   this has been mama Pilar's fundamental problem.   However,   we can depend on her to solve it when we return shortly

[00:39:50] Unknown:

And that's a fact.

Marge Miller is a young newlywed   who is having the first fight of her marriage,   and permit us to say, it's a beaut.   The reason may sound familiar.   She refuses to socialize with her husband's client.   It acquires deeper dimension   when we consider that the client   also happens to be the absolute dictator of a small nation. However,   here comes mama Pilar   with her own score to settle.   And does she bring salvation   or disaster?  

[00:42:07] Unknown:

No. No. I'm sorry, Pilar. It's out of the question. Why does the Senora insist I wish to kill somebody? It's not just somebody. Zorilla.   Me?   Kill my leader? Oh. Why else would you wanna prepare a dinner for him? Oh, Senora,   I am growing old.   Running a restaurant is too much for me. I am looking for a job and and your husband's work, Senora, requires you to entertain.   You need a good cook. No. No. We don't entertain at all. Oh, but you should, Senora. You should. That.   Sergeant, if I let you cook a meal for old Zorria,   you'll bury a knife in him the minute he walks in. I will not. And on my word of honor Well, you'd spike his soup with arsenic. I will not. On my word of honor, I will do nothing to Listen, I believe you, but Pete would never buy it. Why not?  

Why not? Well, let's just say he's very nervous and upset right now.   Then you have a problem.   Such a man is no good to a woman.   No. No. No. We must relax him, restore his desire for romance.   Amen.   Now suppose   just suppose   you said to your husband,   invite the leader here for dinner. You're trying to sneak up on me. I said, just suppose.   Well, what would he do? I guess he'd flap.   Oh, oh, well, that must mean something good. But no. There is no need to tell him. I will cook the dinner until   well, until everyone arrives.   And then it will be too late for him to object.  

How simple it is. Simple and deceitful.   Why do you want to prepare a meal for Zoya?   I have   my reason. Sure.   I want to help my husband do his job,   but I can't very well have his client killed at my dining room table. Senora,   this dinner will resurrect your marriage. Makes you think that my marriage needs to be   when a bride sits alone all afternoon,   emptying glasses, filling ash trees.   Pilar.   Pilar. Pilar. Pilar. No. No. No. Little one. Don't cry.   I promise you, this dinner will bring you both joy and happiness. It will restore your love, revive your honeymoon.   But   you promised   word of honor.  

You won't kill him here.   My word of honor.   I won't kill him   anywhere.

This is Jerry Crawford for Kellogg's special k. We've been having some fun in our television and radio commercials by using a ball and chain to symbolize the slight overweight problem common to so many of us. We point out that being a few pounds overweight is just a little more difficult for you. Climbing stairs, just walking around, even sitting down can feel well like you're wearing a ball and chain. In case you missed the message, it's this. If you really wanna get rid of that extra weight, you really have to work at it by exercising and with sensible meals like the special k breakfast.   A one ounce bowl of special k, America's favorite high protein cereal, four ounces of skim milk, tomato juice, and coffee, less than 240   calories, nutritious, and by the way, delicious.  

So why not begin each day with a special k breakfast and then keep up the good work? Special k can't help you lose weight all by itself, but it really is a good start.

Buick introduces a new concept for you to consider in light of all the concern about miles per gallon,   range.   Range is what you get when you multiply the mileage your car gets per gallon by the number of gallons your car's gas tank holds.   Range is one of the things that help make Buick Apollo such a special small car.   It comes from coupling the Apollo's economical six cylinder engine with a standard 21 gallon gas tank. It holds a lot, but it doesn't use a lot. Look into the Apollo. It's the Buick of small cars.

CBS News. A White House reply is expected this morning to a House Judiciary Committee subpoena for Watergate tapes and a request for some tapes related to the Milk Fund and the IT and T cases.   I'm Anne Crosman reporting on the CBS Radio Network.   James St. Clair, the president's Watergate lawyer, is expected to give an answer to the committee this morning at 10:00 Washington time. The judiciary committee has subpoenaed 11 Watergate tapes and is requesting   66 tapes on the Milk and IT and T cases.   The president has already indicated he will not give any more material to either the committee or special Watergate prosecutor Jaworski.   The senate judiciary committee has given Jaworski a vote of confidence.  

The vote came after Jaworski's   protest to the committee that president Nixon was making a farce of his job by not obeying a subpoena for 64 Watergate tapes.   Committee member Birch Bayh says the vote is an effort to say, mister president, back off. Live up to the promise you've made. When mister Nixon appointed Jaworski last year, he said that Jaworski would have freedom to prosecute the Watergate cases. The White House said yesterday that the president is not considering   firing Jaworski.   More in a minute.
