...right. One hour later, while some of the terrorists created a diversion by firing on the surrounding troops and tossing out hand grenades, others coldly executed the three hostages -John Law, 25, a Canadian, and two Britons, Gordon Banner, 35, and Charles Turner, 45. Moments later 800 Turkish troops opened fire on the shack with rockets, rifles and tear gas. Ten terrorists died in the fusillade; the only survivor was later captured by police...
...been a successful novelty for Hollywood. Then, in Sweet Sweetback's Baadaasssss Song, Melvin Van Peebles gave white film makers a revelation, earning several million with a low-budget opus that was furiously and uncompromisingly black. But it was Shaft that put the message across.

Lindsay, Jackson and McGovern expressed interest, but neither Muskie nor Humphrey was ready to withdraw in favor of the other...
...Pull. While there was no one to stand up to Tookoome in ipirautaqturniq, there was competition aplenty in aqraorak and nalukataak. Mickey Gordon, 23, an Eskimo from Inuvik, and Reggie Joule, a sophomore at the University of Alaska, battled for honors in aqraorak. The event consists of trying to kick a sealskin ball dangling from a pole. Kicking furiously aloft, Gordon came within a toe of breaking his own world record of 8 ft. 2 in. Joule -all 5 ft. 5 in. of him-performed just as brilliantly, though it must be remembered that aqraorak is not his forte. Joule...
