...grounding order had been personally handed to McDonnell Douglas President John C. Brizendine at an unusual meeting in his Los Angeles office at 3:48 a.m. Both he and the bearer of the news, Regional FAA Director Leon C. Daugherty, had been called from their homes to keep their rendezvous. The key passage of the order declared that the engine-and-pylon assembly "may not be of proper design, material, specification, construction and performance for safe operation...
Many of Britain's 35 million voters agree that the May 3 general election could be the country's most significant since World War II. If nothing else, the electorate will be presented with a clear choice, not an echo. Labor's standard-bearer is avuncular James Callaghan, 67, a soothingly familiar leader of his party with a simple message: jobs and trust.

WHEN the great man came to New York in the early '50s, they called him Charlie Mingus. A few years later he announced that Charlie was a name for a boy or a horse--and Charles he has remained.

He shouted toward us, 'Are there any Americans in that group?' 'Yes,' I answered, 'I am an American.' Ho reached out and touched me with his hand. 'I have some joyful news,' he said, and related Hua's announcement. There were handshakes all around. The feelings...
Though Townshend remains the Who's musical standard-bearer, it's clear that the other members are now full partners. John Entwistle, the bass player, wrote a full third of the album's nine songs, and they're every bit as good as Townshend's. "905," a song about a depersonalized future, has a cold, catchy beat recognizably not Townshend's but definitely the Who's. Daltrey has once again taken control of his voice and uses it with as much energy as in the past, and more dramatic flair, controlling the frenzy and leaving the primal screams...
