...Cole has served time for robbery and cocaine dealing. Now he is back in jail after being sentenced last May to serve six years for assault with a deadly weapon. "Death is a part of living," says he. "The only thing I can do is strap two .44s on my chest, keep an Uzi under the seat and a .45 in my hand. If they're going to get me, I'll take some of them with...
...believable accounts of "life after college" in the novel-of-Harvard genre--chief among them Anton Myrer '44s. The Last Convertible--are almost absent from the late sections of Segal's magnum opus. As far a comparisons go, let it be said that Rona Jaffe '51 has a lock on the 25th Reunion trash novel category of this ilk, and Class Reunion wasn't anywhere near as pretentious as The Class, Even Love Story, while making no attempts at profundity (except, of course, in its one infamous and unfortunate definition of love), has its place in this venerable category...
...expectations, say Biologists Ray and Lorna Coppinger, who have raised hundreds of animals at Hampshire College's New England Farm Center in Amherst, Mass. A couple of dogs have wandered off into the hills and disappeared. Others have been killed by traffic, electric wires or misplaced M-44s.

To work properly, guarding dogs must be introduced to sheep as pups so that by maturity they are totally at ease with the flock-and vice versa. When a predator approaches, the sheep...

Much of its fleet, three leased DC-8 jets and four turboprop CL-44s, is on the wrong side of the aircraft generation gap. Flights from the Continent have been delayed up to twelve hours while a windshield wiper was flown from Iceland. But to its great credit, the line has not had a fatal crash in 18 years of flying the Atlantic...
...York's John F. Kennedy Airport and Luxembourg international officially allow Icelandic to use their facilities for transatlantic jet flights. (The U.S. makes this concession because NATO has American-manned military bases in Iceland; Luxembourg's airline does not belong to I.A.T.A.) Icelandic manages to fly CL-44s out of five other European cities, but does so through a clever device. It charges I.A.T.A. rates on regular flights from, say, London or Oslo to Iceland; then it steeply reduces the fare for the rest of the journey from Iceland to New York...
