...message: American policy toward terrorism, as always, was not to give an inch. At most, the U.S. would sanction what it called "discussions" with the terrorists on the safety of the hostages. Washington urged the other governments not to yield. The U.S. pleaded with all Mediterranean nations not to permit the Achille Lauro to dock at their ports...

On Saturday, after waiting two days for the Egyptian government to permit the Achille Lauro to leave Port Said, the ship's owners announced that the remainder of the eleven-day cruise had been canceled...

Others have found that spent fluid from the manufacture of semiconductors could be used to refine old crankcase oil, helping to eliminate two disposal problems for the price...
