...appendectomy; a few days after the operation, with surgical staples still in his abdomen, he flew two round trips between Raleigh and Charlotte, then returned to the hospital for removal of the staples. Others among Wheeler's staff are equally eager. Recently, when the mini-airline inaugurated midday service from Charlotte to Raleigh-Durham Airport (Wheeler's headquarters), Pilot Richard Jeffords Jr., 23, helped passengers fill out tickets, loaded suitcases aboard the airplane, took the controls on the 60-minute, 130-mile flight, taxied to a stop, and unloaded the bags.

It turns out that Eileen Letchworth, fiftyish, the actress who has been Margo Flax for the past two years...
...members of the Senate Republican policy committee, joined by other Republican Senators, held their regular weekly luncheon on Capitol Hill. As they met on a day in which rumors of possible resignation were running wild, initially sending the Dow Jones industrial average up a startling 25 points by midday, the Senators were grim. Explained Tower later: "There was considerable concern that the President did not really understand the mood of the Senate, that he did not fully comprehend the peril he faced if he came to trial here...
