...that same grey morning, some 60 other FBI men had fanned out through the area. In quick, efficient visits to piney woods, farms, back-road gas stations and roadside house trailers, they collected a motley crew of 19 more men???including a Freewill Baptist preacher, a tavern bouncer, a 71-year-old Philadelphia cop, and a 17-year-old high school dropout. The 19 were charged, too, in connection with the killings. Whatever the outcome, the trial will certainly become one of the most celebrated in years?if only because the murder of the three young civil rights workers...

But the ships and planes exist only on drawing boards. The force is not expected...
...immediate issue remained the 49 hostages in Tehran. Concern about their fate far overshadowed any relief about the return of the 13 hostages?five white women and eight black men???who were freed by their captors and who made it home for Thanksgiving dinner. As the 13 stepped off the C-135 military jet that brought them into Andrews Air Force Base outside Washington, dozens of relatives who had been flown there from all over the country rushed to embrace them. But the official welcoming could not be jubilant. Said Secretary of State Cyrus Vance: "Our relief that...
