...were mystified about the voyage of La Nativité. Two of the survivors, all of whom were brought to Miami's Krome Ave nue North Detention Center, where 1,300 other Haitian refugees are being held, first claimed they had come via the Bahama Islands. They left Cap-Haïtien in northern Haiti on Aug. 26, they said, and spent the next 31 days sailing through the Bahamas; they subsisted by catching crabs to eat and licking the rainfall off leaves, until finally setting off Oct. 18 on the last leg of their journey...
...crazy buying spree. Laborites angrily charged that it was a shameless attempt to buy votes for which the country would have to pay later. Some middle-of-the-road opinion was also scandalized.

There were some signs that a debate was waging within Begin's Likud coalition over the possible political advantages of a Middle East crisis.

Slowly, patiently, Vermeil put his team together. Quarterback Ron Jaworski was acquired from the Rams for his strong arm. Running Back Wilbert Montgomery, passed over until the sixth round because of calcium deposits in a thigh, ha emerged as one of the league's flashiest runners. As the team started its comeback, Wide Receiver Harold Carmichael set an N.F.L. record for receptions in 127 straight games, and Kicker Tony Franklin proved that barefoot boys can make it in the N.F.L. The Eagles defense is football's stingiest. In the N.F.C. championship game against the Dallas Cowboys, Philadelphia held...
