...pipelines. The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine proved particularly nettlesome. Three weeks ago, the P.F.L.P. hijacked a TWA jetliner with 113 aboard and forced it down in Damascus; two Jewish passengers are still being held by the Syrians. Last week several of the Front's teen-aged "cub commandos" tossed hand grenades into Israeli offices in Bonn, Brussels and The Hague, gravely wounding one employee of El Al Airlines...
...Spiraling out from the abandoned Cortina, the searchers poked through canyons and wadis leading down toward the Dead Sea. They found a piece of the map Pike had been carrying, but no sign of Pike himself. Eventually, a total of 100 Israeli border policemen, a helicopter and a Piper Cub joined in the search. Assuming that Pike would have sought refuge from the sun, the searchers peered into countless caves along the canyon walls.

Drew Pearson once remarked that his job as a newspaperman was "to spur the lazy, watch the weak and expose the corrupt." For 37 years, until his death of a heart attack last week at 71, Pearson took on that task with the zeal of a cub reporter and earned for himself more controversy than any other journalist of his time.

In the opener of a three-game set at Shea Stadium, their home ballpark?the first crucial series ever to involve the Mets?Chicago's crack righthander, Ferguson Jenkins, entered the ninth inning with a 3-1 lead. Minutes later he stalked off the field in disgust...
...Hecht and Charles MacArthur set the stereotype of the fast-talking, hardbitten, wisecracking newspaper reporter that seems destined to endure forever. The play was made twice into movies,* was revived this season on Broadway and has been taped for presentation on TV next season. As a police-beat cub reporter ten years ago, TIME Associate Editor Ray Kennedy worked for the City News Bureau of Chicago and the Chicago Sun-Times when the brassy style of Windy City journalism was still very much in vogue. This summer, Kennedy returned to the scene of his crime-reporting days and found some...
