DIED. Carl Foreman, 69, screenwriter and producer of such Hollywood hits as High Noon (1952) and The Guns of Navarone (1961); of cancer; in Beverly Hills, Calif. After he wrote Home of the Brave (1949), about racism, and The Men (1950), about disabled veterans, his career was interrupted in 1951 by his "uncooperative" testimony at a Red-hunting congressional inquiry. In 1958 the script he co-wrote for The Bridge on the River Kwai won an Oscar, but as a blacklistee working under a pseudonym he could not claim...
According to U.S. officials, the two Iranian F-4 Phantom jets, which were supplied to Iran by the U.S. in the days of the Shah, took off from their base at Bushire shortly before noon last Tuesday. On the prowl for likely naval targets, they flew down the gulf near the Saudi island of Al Arabiyah, where they ran straight into a patrol of Saudi F-15 planes.

...noon, activity throughout the country stopped for two minutes. People at office windows, on the street or in buses waved white handkerchiefs.

Unless, as in the old days, you would like a story. This is a true one (I can swear to it), about a father and a son in a playground twelve years ago, in the spring, around noon. The boy was five. He had a basketball, which he dribbled off his toes half the time, and which he kept shooting at the hoop-underhand, both hands, straining to reach the rim. The father sat on a bench and watched. The boy kept at it. Then some bigger boys sauntered over, snatched the ball away and shot around, leaving the five...
Sunday at noon it was Harvard's Charlie Marchese against Maine reliever John Kowalski and it was almost over right at the start. Bill Reynolds led off the Maine 10th with a single, and Dave Gonyar came in to pinch run. Rick Bernardo bunted Gonyar to second, and Rob Roy got what should have been the game-winning hit. But Gonyar tripped over third base and had to hold. Marchese got the second out on a come backer to the mound, and Harvard escaped the inning when Weller caught Mike Bonlick's fly ball to center...
