...this century. Coast Guard cutters freed a dozen Lake Erie freighters stuck in 12-ft.-high windrows of ice, and on the frozen Mississippi River near Keokuk, Iowa, 30 towboats pushing about 430 grain barges are trapped until spring. In the shallow Gulf of Mexico bays from Galveston to Port Isabel, Texas, tens of thousands of fish (speckled trout and redfish) died in 38° water...
...incidents and anecdotes range from Kennedy's childhood to his first campaign, through his presidency and his assassination in 1963.

...Yasser Arafat, claimed responsibility. A day later, Arafat's group admitted making the attack but said it had made a mistake and hit the wrong bus. The recantation came too late. Presumably in response to the bus bombing, Israeli missile boats shelled Arafat's redoubt at the northern Lebanese port city of Tripoli, from which the P.L.O. chairman was trying to arrange an exit for himself and the dwindling forces still loyal...
