...Pulitzer Prize in 1966 for a picture of a Vietnamese mother shepherding her family to safety through a river. Newswriter Frank Frosch, also of U.P.I, resembled Sawada in many ways. Like the photographer, Frosch chose the tough way to cover news. During the recent riots in Augusta, Ga., Frosch was the only reporter able to produce an eyewitness account of police killing a looter. He managed it by dodging black snipers' bullets half the night, police bullets the remainder. His Cambodian reporting was just as firsthand: he would listen to the military briefings, then set out to check them...

...into practice. Last year, after his followers kidnaped U.S. Ambassador C. Burke Elbrick, Brazilian police set up an elaborate ambush for Marighella. Two Dominican priests who had harbored Marighella on numerous occasions were arrested and forced to arrange a meeting with him.

The hospital superintendent retired, and the hospital was removed from the jurisdiction of the graft-ridden public welfare department and transferred to the public health department. Nelson's Milledgeville exposé won him a Pulitzer Prize...
...whispering already sounds more like shouting, as Malta's tiny air force recently learned. Although they fly thousands of miles away from the U.S., the Maltese pilots found themselves in an almost daily radio jam-up because airliner controllers in Atlanta, Ga., were broadcasting on their frequency. Nor is the problem peculiar to the West. Only last week the Soviets complained bitterly about interference by illegal, amateur radio operators-"hooligans" who fill the air with "garbage." In one recent instance, the Soviet Ministry of Communications said, radio hams were so disruptive that controllers at Moscow's Vnukovo Airport...
