Although the Tigers dominated the field events, several tracksters scored. Freshman Gus Udo flew 7.05 meters (23 ft. 6 in.) to win the long jump. He also leapt to fourth place in the high jump and third in the triple jump...
...Ford will not let talk of an eventual candidacy die. Trim, tan and in splendid spirits, he is easily the most active non-candidate around, averaging 18 days of travel a month and earning about $500,000 a year on the rubber-chicken circuit. Last week was typical. He flew from his $692,000 home in Rancho Mirage, Calif., to Salt Lake City for a dinner speech to Utah Republicans, then went the next day to Las Vegas for a lunchtime address to the United Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Association. That afternoon the ex-President, wearing light blue paisley slacks...
...Americans then, flew to Saudi Arabia for talks in Riyadh with Foreign Minister Prince Saud al Faisal and Crown Prince Fahd. The Saudis (see following story) remained adamant against having U.S. forces on their soil.

...numbers identifying a blip on the radar screen as the Soviet plane suddenly disappeared. An unidentified voice then ordered the Soviet pilot to descend from 8,000 ft. to 4,000 ft., into airspace that is normally reserved for small planes. For three minutes-and six miles-the jetliner flew at low altitude over heavily populated Long Island, until a tower supervisor discovered what had happened. He quickly radioed the pilot and patiently guided the plane to a safe and uneventful landing. Last week the FBI disclosed that it had begun an investigation to determine whether the mishap was intentional...
Moscow was also making its presence felt in the area. Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko flew to Damascus to shore up relations with Syrian President Hafez Assad, who could use the Kremlin's help to cope with his troubles. Assad's nine-year-old regime, dominated by the minority Alawite sect, has been challenged for its repression and corruption by rightist Muslims; relations with neighboring Iraq have deteriorated, and Syria was the only major Arab state that stayed away from the Islamabad summit...
