...party included a ceremony saluting Americans of varied ethnic backgrounds that were not all acknowledged in July. Among the 80 honorees: Joe DiMaggio, Muhammad Ali and Barbara Walters. Next day a glittering concert and dinner dance at New York City's Lincoln Center featured Charles Aznavour, Julio Iglesias, Placido Domingo and the premiere of a new cantata by Composer William Schuman. When all was conclusively said and exhaustively done, the Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation had chalked up some $300 million.

Days had passed since nearly 2 million Dominicans waited in line, sometimes for as long as eight hours, to cast votes in the May 16 presidential election. Still the country was without a new leader...
...reputed military chief of the Basque terror group ETA, Domingo Iturbe Abasolo, alias Txomin, is suspected of masterminding dozens of killings in Spain. ETA most recently took responsibility for a bomb attack two weeks ago that killed five policemen. Iturbe, 42, has been kept out of reach of the Spanish since he fled to France in 1968. In 1982 French authorities declared him a political refugee...
