Such suspicions add fuel to the independent candidacy of former Minnesota Senator Eugene McCarthy, who so far has qualified to be on the ballot in ten states and hopes to be running in 45 states by November. Is McCarthy worried about throwing the election to the Republicans? Says he: "To spoil the difference between Jerry Ford and Jimmy Carter is not spoiling very much. I hope to make Carter's problems with the liberals worse." Surveys by Louis Harris and Carter's pollster Pat Caddell have found that, in some states, McCarthy could cost Carter between...
Hands Off. Kenyan muscle is primarily economic, and Nairobi began flexing it last week when Kenyan border guards started discouraging truckers from transporting fuel to Uganda. All of Uganda's fuel comes from a Kenyan refinery and, as a Nairobi-based oil executive observed: "Amin's tanks and planes wouldn't get very far into Kenya without gas." In apparent retaliation, late last week the Ugandans seized about 30 Kenyan fuel trucks transiting Uganda on their way to Zaire, Rwanda and Sudan...
This, the basic premise of the movie, is amusing and full to bursting with possibilities for parody. Certainly everything is there and ready to go, but somehow the production never gains much momentum. The problem is that it is all set-up and nothing more.

Rabin's go-ahead came with less than 24 hours remaining before the skyjackers' Sunday afternoon deadline.

Another C-130 fitted out as a radio transmission station kept the war room in Tel Aviv in touch with...
...Ugandan soldier. The second group, blazing away from two armored personnel carriers, held back the rest of the confused Ugandans and destroyed eleven Ugandan air force MIGs with antitank missiles. The third group waited in reserve, while the fourth unsuccessfully tried to get the airfield's fuel pumps working. Because of this failure, the Israelis were not able to refuel and retrieve the Air France plane as they had planned. Instead, they had to refuel their own C-130s at Nairobi on the flight back to Israel...
