...Wilson returned from his sixth and last explora tory mission to the Common Market countries. The pilot of the R.A.F. Comet had heard a suspicious thump as the plane climbed out of Luxembourg's Findel Airport and, fearing a blown-out nose tire, had radioed ahead for emergency help. It was not needed. The plane touched down in a perfect landing, with only the adhering feathers of a Luxembourgian Redwing to show for the scare...
...longer an acquiescent partner of the U.S., nor the abominable no-man of East-West relations. Under Kiesinger, it is an increasingly self-confident nation that is searching for solutions to cold war problems on its own and putting its economic house in order without whining for U.S. help.

"The janitors have no time to clean up here," Rossiter announced, as he staged a protest "scrub-in" with six of his students and three other professors. "They're too busy watering the potted palms over...
...lucky discovery of a food cache left by summertime climbers saved them. Unaware of the cache, their four companions 900 ft. below gave them up for lost; Blomberg and John Edwards battled their way back to 10,000 ft. and stamped out a message in the snow: WEX6-DON-HELP. An observation plane relayed it to Anchorage. Instantly a massive rescue operation was under...
