...storm devastated a densely populated, 3,000-sq. mi. area, destroying 90% of the buildings and 90% of the rice crop. In some areas, TIME's Ghulam Malik reported last week, "it was like the beginning of life after Doomsday. People were wandering naked, wailing the names of kin who never responded. At Hatia, survivors wore rags that they found in ponds and ditches. And if they could find no rags, they wore leaves...
Warren Harding (no kin to the President) had led the first conquest of El Capitan by the easier, "Nose" route in 1958. He met Dean Caldwell, a climber since his teens, in a bar in the Yosemite Lodge two years ago, and the two set out to master the most difficult path up the 3,000-ft. cliff in their first climb together. Harding, 46, and Caldwell, 27, hauled 300 pounds of equipment. They averaged only 150 ft. each day, screwing expansion bolts into the wall as they inched their way upward. The ascent-originally scheduled to take twelve days...
There is a backlash built into every exposé, witness the case of Don Luce, 36, a U.S. correspondent in Viet Nam. Last spring Luce (no kin to TIME'S founder) discovered political prisoners of the Vietnamese government locked into underground "tiger cages" that were being maintained by American dollars supporting the Vietnamese penal system. Luce told visiting Democratic Congressmen William R. Anderson and Augustus F. Hawkins, then escorted them on a tour of the cages, during which Congressional Aide Tom Harkin snapped a number of damning pictures. The Congressmen broke the story, and Luce supplied material...
Last week Crown not only won his fight but did so with a remarkable absence of boardroom bloodshed. G.D.'s directors deposed Lewis as chairman and chief executive; he remains president and a director. To run the company, the board picked David S. Lewis, 53 (no kin), president of thriving McDonnell Douglas Corp. He had apparently tired of waiting for that company's strong-minded chief executive, James McDonnell, 71, to step down and let him take full charge, and he could not resist Crown's challenge to turn General Dynamics around...
Tragic Gamble. Too young at 27, too important to the lives of millions of her generational kin, Janis died unaccountably at a time when life seemed ready, for a change, to offer some answers. She was as aware as anyone of the deaths of major talents who tragically thought drugs were something they could gamble with and win; most recently there was the death of the king of rock erotica, Jimi Hendrix. In the fall of 1969, she was taking a six-month vacation "to clear my head." By last February she claimed to have kicked heroin...
