...South escapes relatively unscathed from the reductions, not surprisingly, since Southerners in Congress remain in control of military affairs. When McCoy Air Force Base shuts down in Orlando, Fla., thousands of people will be out of work. But the city's economy, booming from the $40 million Disney World venture, will hardly notice the loss. Though Georgia will lose three military bases, Senator Sam Nunn said he would ask some questions of the Administration but not raise too much fuss. Compared to the cutbacks in other states, he declared, "Georgia fared well...

...revolves around the adventures of the Starship Enterprise and its interplanetal, international, interracial crew. There's the Waspish Captain Kirk, played in a father-like manner by William Shatner; communications expert Uhura portrayed by the black and beautiful Nichele Nichols; Sulu, the oriental helmsman played by Walter Koenig; Dr. McCoy, the pacifist, depicted by DeForest Kelley; and of course the one and only Mr. Spock, half-Vulcan and half-human, portrayed by Leonard Nimoy.

Reynolds is a randy private detective from Brooklyn named McCoy, who is hired by a rich businessman to recover some stolen diamonds.

TACKLES. Greg Marx, Notre Dame, 6 ft. 5 in., 235 lbs., and Dave Butz, Purdue, 6 ft. 7 in., 279 lbs.

...against them. At José Martí terminal in Havana one of the gunmen disembarked to dicker with Cuban officials; he returned two hours later grousing: "These people here treat you worse than George Wallace or Lester Maddox." The plane headed back to the U.S. and eventually landed at McCoy A.F.B. in Orlando. There the odyssey nearly ended in disaster. After the hijackers demanded to talk to President Nixon, the word came down from Acting FBI Director L. Patrick Gray that the plane had to be stopped. Agents with shotguns, rifles and revolvers then shredded the tires with gunfire...
