...fellas, its Spring Break," the fraternity types announced to the world, and fled the moldy bus for the neon-cluttered streets of Daytona Beach. They argued where they would go first to have fun--the pinball arcade? the amusement park? the Burger King? the Beachcomber Disco? the motel? And then an idea. THE SOUVENIR SHOP. But this was too difficult--there is a souvenir shop on every other block in Daytona Beach, and no good fraternity man can render a decision of such discretion at short notice. So they went out to the parking lot of the bus station...
...mist was still rising from the damp field near Frederick, Colo. Not the most popular hour for a wedding, but certainly the most congenial time for ballooning in the early morning breezes. After solemnly repeating their vows, Diane Baumbach, 39, a secretary, and Jerry Weiman, 33, an amusement park employee, clambered into the bridal balloon, which was decked with a rope of carnations, satin bows and dangling tin cans.

Bonanno was kidnaped by two gunmen near his lawyer's Park Avenue apartment. Referring to himself by his initials, Bonanno confirms the theory that he was held captive near New York City while the commission debated his fate: "J.B. was kidnaped, kept in [illegible] house on parkway, 18 months...
...urging oil companies to go out and buy whatever crude they can acquire on the world market. Diesel fuel and heating oil remain critical problems. Diesel is still generally available to farmers and truckers, though at prices that brought a column of truckers to Washington last week to double-park their rigs in front of the White House in protest. But heating-oil stocks have dwindled to only about 85% of last year's levels, and they must be rebuilt by autumn if they are to prevent severe winter shortages...
