...Twenty minutes late on its nonstop run from New Orleans, Eastern's Flight 66 headed toward the same runway. A stretched version of the Boeing 727, its three jet engines mounted at its tail, the plane carried 116 passengers and a crew of eight. Its pilot, Captain John W. Kleven, 54, only minutes earlier had been advised by the tower of the complaint about wind shear made by Eastern 902's pilot. Unlike his fortunate predecessor, however, Kleven was unable to "save...
...been laid off, and school officials say that as a result, some classes may hold as many as 45 pupils. Many other school systems are eliminating special programs and firing nonteaching employees to save teachers' jobs.

Many members of the cast and crew had taken holidays off the island, but Spielberg had stayed behind. "I was afraid if I'd left," he says now, "I never would have gone back." After the last day of Jaws shooting on the Vineyard, Spielberg climbed into a boat and headed for the mainland, shouting...

They provide a place where assorted folk can tell their tales, show their colors and generally present themselves for inspection. In The Little Hotel, Australian Novelist Christina Stead, 74, has assembled a crew as sad, funny and perverse as any ever gathered together in the name...
