Among its tourist attractions, Baltimore boasts of succulent crab cakes, miles and miles of red-brick row houses, and the fourth busiest harbor in the nation.

...provides one of the best vantage points in the world to learn about people," says Reagan. "During my career at the park I saved seventy-seven people."

In football, he recalls, "the lure of sweat and action always pulled me back to the game--despite the fact that I was a scrawny, undersized, underweight nuisance, who insisted on getting in the way of the more skillful."

Meantime, many lines are concentrating on special trains, spruced-up equipment, new services and engaging advertising to perk up their passenger business. There is some evidence that they are succeeding: last year, for the first time since...
...elusive enemy in Viet Nam rarely shows himself in force except to spring an ambush. So last week, in the largest joint Vietnamese-U.S. Marine operation of:the war, the allies purposefully set out to be ambushed-and thereby lure the Communist ambushers into a giant ambush of allied design. The prey: some 3,700 veteran Viet Cong troops who have been roaming at will up and down the province of Quang Tin between the coastal Marine enclaves at Danang and Chu Lai. The province, for more than a year a hardcore Communist stronghold beyond the reach of government...
