There was never any sign of life in the three-mile tunnel. Rescue teams listened in vain for "pipe talk," the tapping of men who have somehow found sanctuary in pockets of fresh air. On the third day, the mine's manager, Sir Keith Acutt, announced that all hope was lost, adding, a bit speciously, that indications were that the missing men had "died instantaneously and were not aware of what had happened." The final death toll is expected to exceed 430, making Wankie the fifth worst coalmining disaster in history. At the mine-head, the wailing...
...machinery will eventually pipe the water up to three roof-top cooling towers which resemble giant dixie cups. When the building becomes ready for occupancy in September, only one of the three cooling towers will be completed. This tower will provide enough cold water to aircondition the Science Center, the Design School's new Gund Hall headquarters, parts of Paine Hall, and other new buildings north of the Yard. The two other cooling towers need additional funding before they can be completed. When, and if, they are completed, the assembly will provide enough chilled water to aircondition nearly every building...

As the marchers filed out the rear entrance, a Harvard police car glided into the parking lot behind the building.

...European division released an LP by the guards' 48-member bagpipe band. A few months ago, a late-night disk jockey in London took a fancy to one of the tracks on the album, Amazing Grace, and began promoting it. As performed first by the soloist, Pipe Major Tony Crease, then by the full band, the song is as unabashedly emotional as the sound of the pipers accompanying Cary Grant, Victor McLaglen and Douglas Fairbanks Jr. on their march to the rescue in Gunga...
