...making heroes out of deserters. " So says Lieut. Commander Michael Christian, a Norfolk-based former Viet Nam prisoner of war, who vows that he is ready to resign from the Navy in protest. "The price of honor seems pretty cheap this year." Air Force Colonel George Day, another former Viet Nam P.O. W. now stationed in Florida, is ready to pack up his war medals, including the Medal of Honor, and ship them all back to Washington...
Most Appealing. Museum Director Michael Collins, the Apollo 11 astronaut who circled the moon in the command module Columbia while Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin explored the lunar surface for the first time, figures that the Spirit is the most popular airplane in NASM. It was a big drawing card in the Smithsonian's old building as well, and Lindbergh himself viewed it there a number of times.

...serval is Actress Barbara Carrera, on location in the Virgin Islands for the filming of H.G. Wells' 1896 science-fiction chiller, The Island of Dr. Moreau. Carrera plays a prostitute shanghaied from Panama to Moreau's Pacific island for his grisly experiments in trans-species engineering. Michael York co-stars as a shipwrecked Englishman who also gets entangled in the mad scientist's endeavors. To provide raw materials for Vivisectionist Moreau (played by Burt Lancaster), the film makers imported a small-scale Noah's ark of creatures. So far, actors and animals are getting along famously...
