Groovy's closest friend, Galahad, who once ran a communal crash pad (dormitory), muttered about revenge and then, at Groovy's funeral in Pawtucket, R.I., played a turned-on taps on his dead friend's harmonica. In Greenwich, Conn., under a chilly autumn rain, Linda Fitzpatrick was buried, after a simple Episcopal service, in a cemetery not far from the rolling, red-leafed bridle paths of Round Hill Stables, where she used to ride...
...Oiens could have been rescued in a matter of hours had their plane been equipped with a crash-locator beacon ($100-$300), which shines a light visible up to ten miles and sends a radio distress signal 60 miles. Unknown to them, their two-month drama was lived out only eight miles from busy U.S. Route...
...guests and fish begin to stink. After 109 minutes, this particular Fish proves an intolerable guest. Not that the film is without distinction: it was directed by Michael Cacoyannis (Zorba the Greek). It may also be the homosexiest movie since Modesty Blaise.

To avoid them, Beckett filled a 400-page "Red Book" with each of the car's 10,000 parts listed according to projected weight...
...government has moved to remedy the situation. It has just set up a three-year crash program to train more people for service jobs, promised them more pay and a set of new titles of the kind previously reserved for tractor drivers and steel workers. Examples of some of them: "Master First Class" in plumbing or "Master Higher Class" in hotel management...
