...carrying 243 Vietnamese orphans destined for adoption in the U.S. and 62 adults. The children were the first to leave Viet Nam in an official and well-intentioned American program to evacuate 2,000 orphans and bring them to the U.S. Minutes after takeoff, the pilot radioed that his rear loading ramp was defective; he had lost control of his elevators, rudders arid flaps. Seven miles out of Saigon, he made a sweeping turn and headed back to Tan Son Nhut. But the giant plane was rapidly losing altitude, and at 5,000 ft. the pilot saw that he could...
Sexily Luscious. Director Frank Corsaro has staged Die Tote Stadt as a brilliant, psychologically adroit multimedia show. Movie and slide projectors play on the front scrim.

General Motors, for example, has shaved $219 from the list price of its Olds Omega coupe by making such items as radial tires, day-night rear-view mirror and even the cigarette lighter optional...
...first political kidnaping in West German history was carried out with almost military precision. Lorenz's black Mercedes was cut off by a truck and rammed in the rear by a red Fiat. When Lorenz's chauffeur got out to discuss the accident with the Fiat's woman driver, he was knocked to the street by a bearded man from still another car. The men then jumped into the Mercedes and drove the protesting Lorenz away...
