...Peninsula with its strategic naval bases and 900,000-member complement of Communist ground and air forces. The spy planes turn back only when challenged by NATO interceptors. At least twice a year, large-scale Soviet naval exercises are held off the Norwegian coast. Soviet submarines, based at Murmansk, glide into Norway's deep fjords. All but one of the latest incursions have been confined to Norway's northern shores. The Norwegian government has twice protested to Soviet Ambassador Yuri Kirichenko?without results...
...swirl of red ribbons fills the stage, the dancers commanding them moving delicately through the ever changing patterns they create with the long, scarlet strands of silk. Nine women glide serenely across the stage, costumed to represent lotus flowers, hoops just above their ankles, hiding their feet and representing the pads of the flowers.

...area to the runway one at a time in a long single file, like a string of elephants entering a circus arena. The MLS lets planes head into what is, in effect, a huge electronic funnel whose gaping mouth is 80° wide and 20° high (the ILS glide path is only 6° wide and 1.4° high). With MLS, arriving aircraft can enter from several directions at different speeds, flying various curved approaches toward separate electronic "gates." MLS will thus permit more efficient use of runways by different types of aircraft and will give controllers greater choice...
Despite the State's changing defenses, the second half repeated the first. The 19 points of N.C.'s highpointer, Fly "The Glide" Austin were insufficient as his frustrated team trailed throughout by as much as 24 points. Texas' Jim Krivac was highpoint scorer with 33, and ball control that made basketball look like a little man's game...
