...young men ordered Captain Leonidas Medina at gunpoint to fly north to Havana. During a refueling stop, the twin-jet Caravelle's port engine failed, and the hijackers ordered the six-man crew aboard another plane. Once in the air again, Captain Medina decided he had had enough. Catching the hijackers off guard, he and his copilot wrestled the pistol away from them and locked them in the toilets. Then Medina flew back to Santiago, where police arrested Pedro Varas Flores, 16, and Patricio Dagach Reic, 15, on a charge of armed assault...
...Augustus Saint-Gaudens was solidly established as America's greatest sculptor, the creator of heroic public monuments such as New York's equestrian General Sherman, Chicago's standing Lincoln and Washington's Adams Memorial. His smaller, more intimate portrait reliefs are equally distinguished-naturally enough for an artist who started his career as a cameo cutter.

The nation's highly technical economy needs relatively few immigrant laborers; as rising unemployment indicates, there is not enough work for unskilled Americans. But with industry's chronic shortage of specialists, foreigners who have skills are in demand. The 1952 McCarran-Walter Act, which tied quotas to the national and racial elements already in the U.S., arbitrarily barred great numbers of blacks, Orientals and Southern Europeans, no matter...
