...Administration radar station at Oberlin, Ohio, for a radar vector. The Oberlin operator announced: "You are three miles west of Ortner." "Fine," radioed Karns. "I'm releasing my jumpers." Looking down, all anyone on the plane could see was clouds, broken here and there by patches of brownish green. Both the U.S. Parachute Association and the FAA have regulations forbidding a jump through clouds toward a target that cannot be clearly identified. Nevertheless, Karns signaled the jumpers, and out they spilled into the void...
Instant Tears. In her newest film, Up the Down Staircase, Sandy gracefully portrays the grim trials and triumphs of a green young teacher in a New York City slum school. Staircase was the official U.S. entry at the Moscow Film Festival in July.

The South Vietnamese government's guess?and it is admittedly only that?is that 60% of the national population is now "under government control," up from a little more than...
...jolly green giant," as Andrews calls Garrison, filed perjury charges-with a few other minor contradictions thrown in for good measure. That was no surprise, and Garrison has since filed various charges against half a dozen other witnesses. Andrews was the first to come to trial. He did not go quietly, of course, even defended himself for half of the proceedings. At one point he asked for a brief delay "so I can collect my thoughts. I just can't pop up and say da-da-da-da-da-da." Next day he added: "I don't know...
