...between residents and police. Four blacks arrested for those killings were identified for the police by black residents who are fed up with the terrorism. These gangs are "not Robin Hoods, helping the poor," contends one of their earlier but now disenchanted supporters, Holmes ("Daddy-O") Daylie, a local disk jockey. "They are just hoods, robbin...
...Foundation gave $50,000 for legal expenses for inner-city youths. A chapter of the Vice Lords known as the Conservative Vice Lords received Sears Foundation and Y.M.C.A. support in starting several small businesses in their area.

...huge to follow the sun itself, the parabolic reflector depends on the help of 63 smaller mirrors set in eight rows on a terraced slope in front of it. Called heliostats (from the Greek helios, sun; statos, to cause to stand still), they track the solar disk across the sky, capture its light and bounce it in parallel beams into the big mirror.

Whenever one of the hehostats (each of which is made 180 individual mirrors) loses its lock on the sun, these tiny electric...

One song especially, the Nashville Sounding Every Night ("Every night I just wanna stay out and be with you"), seems to be a genuine salute to Dylan's Tonight...
...there will be some changes in the routine. To prevent the kind of blackout caused when Apollo 12 Astronaut Alan Bean inadvertently pointed his TV camera at the sun, the astronauts have been instructed to keep their color camera aimed at least 45° away from the solar disk. The Apollo 13 camera also is equipped with a lens cap and has a backup: a spare black-and-white model inside the cabin. Other improvements in their paraphernalia: antiglare visors, 8-oz. water pouches inside their suits ("Nice for wetting the whistle," Haise explains), backpacks to haul lunar samples (instead...
