...holding the plane the Russians could scuttle talks with the U.S. On the other hand, their release of 214 Americans for combat would invite a propaganda cudgeling from China, ever eager to berate Moscow for betraying its allies in Hanoi. In the end, both sides displayed an encouragingly sophisticated, fresh approach to defusing the danger. Next day, Thompson was handed a curt protest note. Just as curtly, the U.S. apologized and Flight 253A was set free, reaching Japan with a planeload of grubby, bearded troopers bound for Cam Ranh Bay in Viet...
Remember the Pueblo? Six months after North Korea seized the U.S. Navy intelligence vessel, Pueblo is still a fresh topic for 38,037 Army, Navy and Air Force reservists and National Guardsmen called to the colors since last January's crisis.

If Pope Paul had any fresh evidence to bolster her thesis, he did not cite it, and his announcement acknowledged that controversy over the claim is likely to continue. For one thing, the tomb itself dates from the 4th century. For another, many scientists would contend that it is impossible to establish the identity of the remains without some clue to Peter's physique, such as a bone deformation. Finally, while the bones unquestionably have a personal significance...
