...Harvard Square MTA station at 4:30 p.m. Saturday. A man in his company told an MTA starter that Asseyev was about to jump, and a fare collector, Daniel J. Magoon, ran from his booth and stopped Asseyev three to five feet from the edge of the platform, an MTA official said last night...
OPINION The Perfect Platform Amid all the Republican noncandidates, Clare Boothe Luce last week went out of her way to reveal that she too is not a candidate. In a witty, Associated Press interview, the former Connecticut Congresswoman and U.S. Ambassador to Italy quipped: "I'd enter the New Hampshire primary in a minute if I had a campaign manager, an organization and a political base.

Its microbeam-guidance system is so accurate that Shillelagh can destroy a tank, pillbox or troop concentration several miles away. Giving Shillelagh an added knockdown punch is its launching platform, the new General Sheridan tanklike armored vehicle. This is a speedy battlefield bantamweight (it weighs only 16 tons, compared with 50 tons for most U.S. tanks) that scoots along at 39 m.p.h. on the ground; when necessary it can dive into water and "swim" at 4 m.p.h.
