According to police and newspaper reports at the time, Flanagan attacked Elrod with a pipe, breaking his neck. But according to two witnesses, Elrod's injuries are the result of his own actions, not Flanagan's. Richard Hinchion, 43, an insulating contractor from Munster, Ind., says that Flanagan was running from the police when Elrod, apparently responding to a cry of "Stop that man!" joined the chase. Attempting a football-style block, he bowled Flanagan over, then crashed headfirst into the wall of a restaurant. Michael Rollins, 35, a reporter for Chicago radio station WCFL, confirms Hinchion...

Ongania was unpopular with civilians and military alike for his stubborn authoritarianism. His generals called him "El Cano" (The Pipe), because, as one officer explained it, "He is very straight, but also very hollow." He did manage to curb Argentina's dangerous inflation, which dropped from 26.7% in 1966 to 6.5% last year.

Wilson himself is Labor's strongest asset.

Opinion polls reflect Labor's edge. At week's end Labor led by as much as 5.5%, which would translate into about a 60-seat majority in the House of Commons...

...dominant image is the circle. Catch-22 is as cyclic as the Soldier in White, a mummy-like form completely encased in bandages. At one end, a bottle feeds fluid into the region of some upper vein. At the other, a pipe conducts the fluid out of the kidney region and into another bottle. At a given signal, preoccupied nurses exchange the bottles, and the cycle begins anew...

...tattered state of tonality at the start of the 20th century, Arnold Schoenberg sought a new direction through the tight formations of serialism. Later on, other composers began an exploration of the resources of raw sound. Gerd Zacher is still doing just that. In normal practice, each organ pipe receives a steady and unchangeable supply of wind from the bellows and each produces only one single tone. What Zacher worked out was a way to vary the flow of air and thereby produce a family of tones from a single pipe, in much the same way that different sounds...
