Bruce Hedendal was aced out in the discus by Army's Dan Seebart. Hedendal's throw of 162 fell two inches short of 1st place. Seebart also took the shot put, with Harvard's Huey Benka third and Hedendal fifth...
Stiff & Frightening. Two Army "Huey" helicopters flew out of Talkeetna to search for the missing climbers. Up from Seattle to help came half a dozen volunteers, including Jim Whittaker, who in 1963 became the first American to scale Mount Everest. It took rescuers four days to locate the seven climbers. The summit men were picked up by helicopter at 13,350 ft. Blomberg and Edwards got back to the base camp by themselves; Wichman and Shiro Nishimae were located in an igloo at 10,200 ft. They were suffering from nothing more serious than stiff muscles, frostbite and a frightening...
...bigots than Gerald L.K. Smith, but few have been so durable. During four decades as a rabble-rouser, he has made a career and a fortune out of preaching that only the far right is right - and that just about everything else is wrong. A onetime tub thumper for Huey Long, Smith says that the U.S. was meant to be "a white, Christian country," claimed in 1952 that Eisenhower was Jewish, and has called Hubert Humphrey "a creature of Jewish subsidy."

Long gone are the days when the Radio Priest called Franklin Delano Roosevelt "the great liar and betrayer," when he joined with Huey Long's third-party movement and loudly boomed his weekly antiwar message across the country from Detroit's Station WJR. On the eve of the 50th anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood, Father Charles Coughlin, 74, silenced by Edward Cardinal Mooney in 1940 at F.D.R.'s behest, held a press conference at his rectory in Royal Oak, Mich., and allowed: "I understand more about charity than I did 40 years...
...Paddies. Considering the exploits of the 1,800 copters already in Viet Nam, it is no wonder. Such choppers as Bell's ubiquitous UH-1B Huey and Vertol's 44-passenger Chinook are able not only to harry the elusive enemy with rocket and strafing attacks but to carry foot soldiers into battle at 150 m.p.h., eliminating bone-wearying marches through flooded paddies and jungles. Four $2,000,000 Sikorsky CH54A Skycranes, which look gawky but can haul 87 men or a field hospital under their bellies, have so far retrieved 100 downed aircraft-$37 million worth...
