Death Threats. They were married in October 1970, but not until Carew had received a number of death threats. Rod and Marilynn did not let the racism of the fans inhibit their lives, and, characteristically, they did not complain about the insults to Twins officials and teammates. (Carew had long before learned to live with prejudice. Even today, he sometimes hears a fan shouting racial slurs from the safety of the stands.) The Panamanian was swept into Marilynn's family-her mother has lived with them for four years. Marriage and children-Charryse, 3½, and Stephanie, 2-have...

On the other hand, they have not done much with them, which is to say they have tiptoed up to the most fascinating enigma of his character, and then quietly backed away from...
...some other points. The British dropped their demand for a fixed fifty-fifty split of North Atlantic revenues. American negotiators also fended off British attempts to regulate passenger loads and flight frequencies by government decree; the U.S. agreed only to a "consultative" process if, say, the British complain that Pan Am is scheduling too many New York-London flights. The next move is up to the Carter Administration. It must decide which U.S. airlines get the new runs from Atlanta and Dallas-Fort Worth to London...
