...Donald Woods, editor of the East London Daily Dispatch and a close friend. At week's end the mood of defiance was spreading. More than 1,200 black students challenged a ban on unauthorized assemblies to attend a memorial service for Biko at the black University of Fort Hare. They were arrested en masse without incident. Other protest meetings were scheduled for this week. In the black township of Soweto, where 24,000 high school pupils have been protesting discriminatory education by refusing to register for the coming term, one student said of Biko's death: "The sorrow...
Less visible than the cymbal-clanging Hare Krishnas, the 3HO disciples rival them in devotion. Men and women alike follow the Sikh traditions of not cutting their hair and bearing symbolic daggers, combs and bracelets. Ashram members rise at 3:30 a.m. to practice yoga and meditate, sometimes while staring at a picture of Bhajan.

No other Fords were in sight, but the bride's uncles Victor and Ted Reuther gamely padded around in their socks and joined the festivities. Said a wide-eyed...
...controllers sent to Oshkosh from other Midwestern airports to keep the participants out of one another's struts, the convention was not only the "world's largest aviation event" but also the world's biggest traffic jam. Chicago's O'Hare, the world's busiest airport, averages some 2,000 landings and takeoffs a day; there were more than 4,800 daily at Oshkosh. Since many of the planes were not even equipped with radios, the controllers were forced to rely on red smoke signals. Even those flyers with radios were not much better...
