...Bend had not seen such commotion since Pancho Villa tromped over the border in 1916, and it was hardly prepared for the crush. Extra telephone lines and fast-transmission Telex machines were jammed into ranger headquarters at Panther Junction to handle press copy, and a car stood ready to rush outgoing material to the airstrip 120 miles away. For Lady Bird's five-hour raft journey through the wild gorges of the Rio Grande, rangers had floated box lunches, soft drinks and coffee, and portable toilets to the sand bar where the party was to stop for lunch...
...Detroit's safety record, Kennedy pointed out that astronauts and test pilots undergo much greater shocks than do people in many auto accidents-and survive. He asked the Government to force automakers to do something about protecting passengers from the "second collision" when they slam into a car's interior. "Our automobiles," he said, "are simply not designed to protect the passengers under these shocks." When military commanders want money to improve safety at airbases, added Kennedy, "they place the boots of dead pilots on the conference table before them. The boots of millions of traffic victims-past...
...Scheduled-airline flying in the U.S. is 6.4 times safer than personal driving; a person would have to travel 263 million miles in a plane, but only 41 million miles in a car, before he ran an odds-on chance of being killed. More people die by falling off ladders than by crashing in airliners. Life insurance is no more expensive for today's pilots than it is for bookkeepers; in a year, only one commercial pilot out of 1,000 dies in a plane. And the record is steadily improving; one accident occurred in every 85,000 hours...
...headiest welcome ever accorded state visitors to their country. After tumultuous greetings in Rawalpindi (TIME, April 1), perhaps 1,000,000 people poured into the streets of Lahore, the old Mogul capital, sprinkling rose water into the path of the Chinese, heaping flower petals on Liu's car, shouting "Long live Pakistan-China friendship!" It was the greatest celebration since Independence in 1947, and, predictably, in spots it had a distinctly anti-American flavor. Young toughs waved "Chinese yes, Yankees no" signs, taunted U.S. newsmen with shouts of "white skinned monkeys" and "Yankee bastards." "We cannot altogether control...
...Mutuality. Saving a federal defender's time and effort, DePaul Law Students Jay Shapiro and Larry Gabriel recently tackled the case of a Puerto Rican moonshiner. Without a warrant, federal agents had invaded his apartment, found 500 Ibs. of fermenting mash, and then nabbed him outside in a car crammed with sugar. After plumbing assorted precedents, the students informed the defender that the agents indeed had "probable cause" for the warrantless invasion: the mash smell was detected by their own trained noses. Such experiences have persuaded Gabriel to become a prosecutor, Shapiro a criminal lawyer...
