...radar-dodging F-19 Stealth fighter plane, a supersecret Air Force project, has long been the subject of gossip. Tom Clancy features it in his new best seller, Red Storm Rising, and one toymaker has gone so far as to produce a 12- in. model. Though the Air Force will not comment on reports that the plastic toy is 80% accurate, as its makers claim, sales have been high among the Lockheed workers in Southern California who have had a part in the project. Last week the status of the F-19 became a bit less murky. The Washington Post...

Frank Mundus, 60, and Donnie Braddick, 30, had spotted a group of great whites feeding on the carcass of a whale about 25 miles south of Montauk, N.Y., and mobilized for battle. But the monster did not immediately abandon the whale in favor of the crew's whiting , and butterfish bait...
...Chattanooga, it was The Warriors, a movie glorifying the camaraderie and violence of gangs in New York City, that served as the model and namesake for the first local gang. Fourteen others followed, including the Black Angels, a group with all-female membership. The result has been an overload of car-theft cases in juvenile court, as well as Vincent Bailey's murder last October...
