...assistance in its battle last week from the Air Line Pilots Association, which represents 33,000 of the nation's 40,000 commercial pilots. ALPA President John J. O'Donnell had instructed a small group of pilots, including former controllers, at the outset of the strike to collect data on how the system was working. O'Donnell also called upon ALPA members to phone in any hazardous incidents and irregularities. "I can say without equivocation that the air-traffic control system in the country is safe," reported O'Donnell. Bill Reynard, chief of the Aviation Safety...
Emergency room staffs in at least 220 of the state's 300 hospitals now use the Vitullo Evidence Collection Kit, named after Louis Vitullo, a former Chicago police sergeant who helped devise it. The kit comes in a book-size cardboard box and includes slides, evidence bags and labels. Nurses and doctors use the contents to collect blood samples, hairs, fingernail scrapings and bodily smears. While it is still too early to gauge the success of the kit, convictions were obtained in three early test cases in which it was used. Yet a lack of funds for the kits...

Democrats claim that the change will reduce benefits for some 3 million deserving elderly people, many of whom have incomes barely above the poverty line (now set at just over $4,275 for an individual). A $1.4 billion reduction in federal spending for school lunches next year will, in the Republican interpretation, force families who can afford...
...Attorney General John Mitchell and White House Chief of Staff H.R. Haldeman. The court will also decide if Kissinger is liable. If Halperin, his wife and three sons are found to be eligible for the $100-a-day damages from each defendant, as specified by law, the family could collect more than $1 million. And it might not end there. Nixon faces similar suits from New York Times Reporter Hedrick Smith and former Kissinger Staffer Anthony Lake...
