...course, neither can nor should give any guarantees against demonstrations or defections. To answer any legitimate Soviet worries, however, Ueberroth and Juan Antonio Samaranch, the Spanish diplomat who heads the International Olympic Committee, flew from the Manhattan torch-carrying ceremony to Washington for a prearranged meeting with Ronald Reagan. It was already too late: even as they waited at New York City's La Guardia Airport for their chartered jet, they got the first indication of an actual Soviet pullout, news that was confirmed when they reached Washington. Nonetheless, they received from the President a letter pledging strict U.S. adherence...
David had tried, off and on for years, to get free of drugs. Not long ago he completed a course of treatment at St. Mary's Rehabilitation Center in Minneapolis. Just before the Easter weekend, David flew down to Palm Beach to spend the holiday with his ailing 93-year-old grandmother Rose and other members of the family, including Caroline Kennedy.

At Pittsburgh's airport (four hours after Mondale had touched...

As helicopters flew in with special crack units and medical teams, directed by Defense Minister Moshe Arens and Chief of Staff Moshe Levy, the terrorists demanded the release of 25 Palestinians being held in Israeli jails. At 4:45 a.m. Friday, before the first rays of light hit the surrounding palm trees, Israeli commandos burst in through the rear window and two doors, killing all four hijackers. One passenger died, seven were injured and 31 escaped...
