Mary Ann Harbert, 26, on the other hand, was not on any U.S. mission. She was aboard a pleasure yacht with a companion, Gerald McLaughlin, when the craft disappeared near Hong Kong in 1968, apparently sunk in a storm. Even Mary Ann's family gave her up for dead. In fact, the yacht had drifted into Chinese waters 15 miles south of Hong Kong. The Chinese, ever alert for prowlers, took the two prisoner, jailed them without charges and elected not to tell anybody about it. McLaughlin "behaved badly," according to his captors, and killed himself...
...poulet a la proven∧ale. So too with musical greats from Palestrina and Purcell to Wagner and Webern, in a handsome treatise that is informed and comfortably free of jargon. This is primarily history, not a quick alphabetical reference aid (readers wanting that should try the Oxford Companion to Music).

Cities would have flexibility to adopt whatever methods they choose, and to reject busing if they could make another technique work as well, but those that failed to show progress would lose all federal support. A companion Ribicoff bill would provide incentives for suburban communities to make room for low-and middle-income housing...
...case itself was routine. Specialist Four Henry Rollins, 24, a combat veteran serving his second tour in Viet Nam, was walking with a buddy who wore fatigues but no hat. The absence of the hat meant that Rollins' companion was, technically, in improper uniform. A command sergeant major hailed the G.I.s by shouting, "Hey, soldier!" The pair disregarded the call, which came from behind them. When the sergeant major caught up, a scuffle took place. Rollins decked the noncom. Charged with assaulting a superior and failing to obey an order, Rollins faced a sentence of six months at hard...
