...mustard-colored small car and speed away after the seventh assault. A yellow Volkswagen was seen near the site of last week's attack No. 8. Yet more than 25,000 yellow Volkswagens are registered in New York State, and police have little confidence that state computers can narrow the number of owners who also roughly fit the killer's age range and physical description. The job of tracing ownership of the 28,000 Bulldog revolvers made by Charter Arms Corp. of Stratford, Conn., over the past five years is similarly hopeless; at least 600 were reported stolen...
...flounces adorned many of Bohan's dresses, capes and blouses. For evening, there were a strapless ball gown supported by whalebone, tiered party dresses, and taffeta capes with double Pierrot collars. The knee-length daytime outfits, including simple black wool suits and Spencer jackets worn with black stockings, narrow neckties and black velvet hair ribbons, drew sustained applause from an audience that included both Madame Claude Pompidou and Bianca Jagger.

The spectacle of thousands of people turning out in 100° temperatures to cheer the presidential motorcade as it wound through Charleston's narrow myrtle-scented streets evoked familiar campaign memories, but Carter quickly made clear to the legislators that he had a much broader-and more distant-audience in mind...
Along the Sallum escarpment, a narrow, sandy ridge between sea and impassable salt flats where British and German armor fought several World War II battles, tanks and planes rumbled once more. In one battle, claimed Cairo, Egyptian troops knocked out 40 Libyan tanks and disabled 30 other vehicles at the cost of one truck and one wounded soldier. Next day bomb-laden Egyptian jets swept across Libya, inflicting heavy damage on an airbase at El Adem, near Tobruk...
...Supreme Court's latest decision- and Carter's attitude toward it-has something of the same self-canceling effect. The court made abortion legal; now it has rescinded an important advantage of that legality by making it hard for the poor to obtain abortions. On narrow constitutional grounds, the court does have a point; states and communities should have the right to decide how to spend their tax money. But the refusal to spend it creates a new configuration marked by inconsistency and hypocrisy...
