...chased each other -hare and hound in the fragile cockpits of Grand Prix racing cars-across four continents, ten months, 15 highspeed races. One of them, Niki Lauda, the reigning champion of Formula I, had nearly given his life to the quest in a flaming crash at Germany's treacherous Nürburgring course. The other, James Hunt, racing's brash and rising star, had invested his considerable zest in the discipline needed to hone his talents. Only three points separated them-Lauda leading-in the contest for the World Driving Championship when they came to the final...

Missouri--The airplane crash that killed Representative Jerry Litton just hours after he had captured the Democratic Senate nomination probably also dashed the Democrat's hopes to hold the seat occupied for so long by Stuart Symington. The candidacy of former Governor Warren E. Hearnes, the state committee's choice to replace Litton, is tainted by an investigation into corruption in his administration that produced no convictions but cast a long shadow of suspicion over...

Ford: Having accomplished little in the past two years to free the nation from its increasing dependence on foreign oil, the President still lacks a comprehensive policy for energy. His $100 billion crash program to subsidize nonpetroleum sources of power was roundly defeated by Congress last year because it was considered extravagant.

The President is also calling for programs to increase...

...first clue to the identity of the airline bombers came from a taxi driver in Trinidad who overheard two Spanish-speaking passengers discussing the Cubana "accident" shortly after the crash. Port of Spain police found that the pair had checked in-without luggage-at the downtown Holiday Inn. The two men, Freddie Lugo and Hernán Ricardo Losano, were traveling on Venezuelan passports; they had been on the arriving-passenger list of the ill-fated airliner in Barbados earlier in the day, but then flew back to Trinidad. After deplaning, investigators found, the pair placed a call to Orlando...

Last week Avery Fisher Hall was reopened after a $6.4 million, five-month crash reconstruction job. Said Fisher: "I hope they like it, because I haven't enough money to build another." No worry. The sound of success could be heard both inside and outside the hall. The man responsible was Master Acoustician Cyril M. Harris, 59, who could already boast of the fine sound at the Metropolitan Opera, Washington's (B.C.) Kennedy Center and, most spectacular of all, the two-year-old Orchestra Hall in Minneapolis. Conductor Pierre Boulez was pleased because the 110 men and women...
