...prompt return of hijacked airliners and passengers. Most airline officials would like to strengthen the agreement by providing for the extradition and severe punishment of hijackers as a matter of course. Even so, any country can get around extradition by granting hijackers "political asylum"-as Cuba has done regularly. Only last week, hijackers bound for Castro's island boldly seized two Ecuadorian military transports on a flight out of Quito. When one crewman put up a fight they shot him dead...
Docile King. Only in education had King Idris' government done a good job-and that may have backfired. When new schools were built, there were not enough competent Libyan teachers to staff them.

When paying utility bills, Matusow advises doing it promptly-but overpaying or underpaying by a penny or two. The effect, he says, is to send an unsophisticated computer into a state of hysteria...
Anderson has lost none of his zeal-and none of his Boy Scout piety. "We get 200 to 300 letters a day from little people who have lost faith in the possibility of seeing justice done through the normal processes," he says. And he vows "to keep the column what Drew made it-a voice for the voiceless...
