...scores, American embassy officials in Manila and the FBI assured ASTA that the chances of an incident were small. To make them even smaller, Marcos had assigned 3,000 security personnel to protect the convention-center complex. The terrorists circumvented the precautions by smuggling their small bomb into the auditorium in the official briefcase of an ASTA delegate...
Semi-cease-fire in the South Everybody stood up, held both hands, and was waving and yelling." So said Gladys Wright, a cloth inspector at a J.P. Stevens & Co. mill in Roanoke Rapids, N.C., describing the scene last week in the local high school's auditorium. Allowed to vote as a result of a hard-fought union-management agreement, 900 Stevens employees unanimously approved the first collective-bargaining contract between the Amalgamated Clothing and Textile Workers Union and the nation's No. 2 textile maker, which has led labor's enemies list for nearly two decades.

That, however, is better than starting out with a dead hall...
Graduates include droves of key church leaders who exert considerable influence within the growing Evangelical movement. The most famous, the Rev. Billy Graham (who earned an A.B. in anhropology in 1943), was back on campus last week to dedicate the $13.5 million Billy Graham Center. The center includes an auditorium as well as a museum, classrooms and a research library. Wheaton also numbers more than a dozen college presidents among its alumni, and people in every other line of work-even David Young, '61, one of the White House plumbers along with Egil Krogh, and a bit player...
