...firm of Boyesen, Otis and Faricy. It was the start of a long legal career. He then married Elvera Stromberg, whom he had met when they were both taking extension courses at Minnesota. They have two children: a son, Wade, now 32 and a real estate man in northern Virginia, and a daughter, Margaret, 22, a Montessori school student teacher...
...Mountain anchors the northwest corner of South Viet Nam's A Shau Valley, since 1966 a major infiltration route for Communist forces from the Ho Chi Minh Trail in Laos to the coastal cities of northern I Corps. It is a mountain much like any other in that part of the Highlands, green, triple-canopied and spiked with thick stands of bamboo. On military maps it is listed as Hill 937, the number representing its height in meters. Last week it acquired another name: Hamburger Hill. It was a grisly but all too appropriate description, for the battle...

Hawkins and Soprano Betty Watson founded the Northern California State Youth Choir in April 1967, drawing upon leading singers from Pentecostal choirs throughout the San Francisco area. Last year they made a private recording (1,000 copies) of Hawkins' gospel-song arrangements. San Francisco Chronicle Columnist Ralph J. Gleason heard it, gave it a plug or two, and record companies started a bidding war for the album. New York's Buddah Records got there first and capped the deal with a $55,000 advance and a $25,-000 bonus. Buddah changed the group's name...
