...their hands, the brothers vaulted one row of wire, then another, finally the third. Luckily, the guards' backs were turned. Only one shot was fired-and that by a young West Berlin woman who excitedly snapped her camera (see cut) just as the two successfully hurdled the final barrier to freedom in the West...
More of Everything. He should have gone to Pinas Bay. An isolated jungle inlet, 150 miles southeast of Panama City, Pinas (or Pineapple) Bay is the world's hottest marlin ground, better than Peru, better than New Zealand, Hawaii or the Bahamas. There, swarming around a bait-packed barrier reef seven miles offshore, are more different kinds of billfish, and more of each, than anybody has ever seen before: big Pacific sailfish in such profusion that fishermen consider them a nuisance, literally thousands of blue marlin, silver marlin, striped marlin and the lordly blacks...

It must have a top speed of 316 m.p.h., be able to linger over a target for two hours, clear a 50-ft. barrier on takeoff within 800 ft. of its starting point, operate out of sod fields, off gravel roads and, when equipped with pontoons, from water. It would require two engines so that it could still fly if one were knocked out. Finally, it must be able to carry...
...greatest barrier to a Pennsy-Central merger has been labor's objection. Much of the barrier was removed last month, when the chiefs of 17 rail unions signed a job-protection deal with Pennsy Chairman Stuart Saunders and New York Central President Alfred Perlman. Terms: if the merger is consummated, the labor force cannot be reduced by more than 5% each year. An ICC hearing examiner will make a recommendation on the merger by year's end, and railroaders are hopeful that the ICC's eleven commissioners will give the two roads a go-ahead...
