...Legionnaires' disease as the cause of the unusual type of pneumonia from which six garment-district patients were suffering, they sent blood samples first to the CDC laboratory in Manhattan for analysis and then to Atlanta. The CDC confirmed the diagnosis. By then two victims had died, both deliverymen, who trundle racks loaded with dresses through traffic-choked streets. Investigators looking for clues to the source of the outbreak instantly checked to see if the two worked for the same shop; they did not, but were employed on the same block. A woman worker from a third shop near...
Many of them are unemployed. Those who have found jobs generally work as unskilled laborers, sugar-cane cutters or deliverymen. Most of them live in the crowded apartments of northeast Miami. Some Miamians, including many Cubans, complain that the Haitians are a potential drain on government assistance and should be sent home. But, because they are in the U.S. illegally, they do not qualify for welfare or other government help. The National Council of Churches has, since 1974, provided them with $500,000 worth of emergency housing, food and medicine...
UNDISPUTED FACTS. Some $420,000, taken mainly from Nixon campaign contributions, was distributed covertly to the seven Watergate defendants, their families and lawyers. The deliverymen used telephone booths, storage lockers and other public sites as drops so that the recipients would never see them.

The Cubans carried a suitcase with air-express invoices addressed to Dr. Fielding, and thus persuaded a cleaning lady to admit them to Fielding's office. They left the suitcase, containing a CIA camera, then punched the "unlock" button on the office door before leaving. When they returned later, they found the door relocked and had to break in. The operation fizzled, however...
...Pierre Laporte, 49, Quebec's Labor Minister. He had been shot in the head. Still missing was James Cross, 49, British Trade Commissioner in Montreal. It was Cross who was first kidnaped two weeks ago when his maid unwittingly let two terrorists into his home, mistaking them for deliverymen. For his release, the terrorists demanded $500,000 in gold bullion, the freeing of 23 F.L.Q. members from prison, and safe passage for them to Cuba or Algeria. When the government firmly refused to meet the terrorists' terms, the F.L.Q. responded by grabbing Laporte from the lawn...
