"My dad is an accountant, not a coal miner.'' she said, "and I was born in Brookline, Massachusetts.'' She did indeed live in Pennsylvania...

A young electrical engineer clung to a homemade bucket seat attached to a crane while friends on the Western side wafted him 90 ft. across the Wall. Three teenage boys cut their way through barbed wire, and a coal miner, his courage kindled by schnapps, leaped 35 ft. from a bridge into a barge canal, then swam to the Western shore...
