She showed him a 20-lb. coho salmon she had "pulled outa the crick this mornin' " as well as photographs of the half-grown pet bobcat she had "potty-trained."

There the hijackers herded everyone off, then exploded a bomb in the cockpit. Earlier, Jerusalem came under rocket attack. Three 6-ft.-long, 50-lb., Soviet-made Katyusha missiles'exploded harmlessly in the city. In London a small bomb exploded, injuring a woman in the office of Israel's Zim shipping company. Angrily, the Israelis warned the Arabs that they cannot hope to "sit in safety in their offices throughout the world unless...
