...patrons until he turned her over to Hays. According to congressional sources, Gray is talking to authorities and offering cooperation with an FBI investigation. Subject: the possible misuse of public funds for sex by Congressmen and Senators. Gray retired from Congress in 1974 after suffering a heart attack. A married man, he was famed on Capitol Hill for his assortment of girls. He also kept a 55-ft. houseboat on the Potomac River for the use of business and congressional colleagues who could be helpful to him. Unknown to Gray, the FBI kept watch on the houseboat hanky-panky...
...however, bring any real peace to Lebanon because the agreement, negotiated by Libyan Premier Abdul Salam Jalloud, did not extend to the country's warring leftist Moslem and rightist Christian forces. On the day the Jalloud agreement was announced last week, rightist forces launched a savage attack on two Palestinian camps in the predominantly Christian eastern section of Beirut. More than 150 were killed and well over 200 wounded in one of the bloodiest weeks of Lebanon's civil war. If the Christians should take over the well-defended refugee camps, they will have carved a de facto...
...unmanned, but my vitals held sound." It seems that Ethan Allen, 38, the argumentative hero of Fort Ticonderoga, is giving almost as much trouble to the British as he did when he was commander of the Green Mountain Boys.

Word of Allen's fate came from...
...away the 100-odd British ships blockading New York Harbor, it might be a shy Connecticut inventor who has devised a strange new weapon of maritime warfare. David Bushnell, 35, calls it a "submarine vessel," also known as the Turtle. Like that creature, it can dive under water and attack its enemies by surprise. It strikes them with an explosive device that its creator has named, after the electric ray, a torpedo...
...Patriot meetinghouse, into a playhouse. There he mounted productions of his own works, notably the scurrilous anti-American satire The Blockade of Boston. (Justice was poetically served, however, when the British actor-soldiers were unceremoniously routed from the stage in mid-performance last January by news of an American attack on their Charlestown strong-hold.) Burgoyne is now gone from Boston, but another parting shot was recently fired at his Blockade. The Blockheads, a merciless farce that celebrates the ignominious British evacuation of Boston, was published in pamphlet form last month and is now being widely read...
