...Griggs, who observed independence-day celebrations in Luanda, reported that "the excited M.P.L.A. soldiers began indiscriminately firing their rifles in the air. Some shots whizzed less than 20 feet over the heads of the frightened crowd. A Red Cross DC-6, returning to the nearby airport from a relief mission, was hit by two bullets as it made its final approach but managed to land safely. The incident was quickly reported to a Portuguese Airways Boeing 747 entering the pattern, causing the cautious pilot to change course and head back to Lisbon. Ironically, the jumbo jet was packed with leftist...
...biggest reason for their success is the play of Quarterback Fran Tarkenton, 35, now in his 15th pro season. Hampered last year by a sore arm-he was treated in the off-season by Dodger Relief Pitcher Mike Marshall, a graduate student and expert in body mechanics at Michigan State-Tarkenton has already thrown for 15 touchdowns. He leads the league with a completion mark of better than 60%. Indeed, Tarkenton, who has never been seriously injured, should soon become the leading passer in N.F.L. history. Only ten more TD throws will break John Unitas' lifetime high...
...workers's distrust of Chavez's union was proven well-justified.

Sparger (Don Parker) is a homosexual actor from the off-off-Broadway café scene, and he provides acerbic comic relief. Mark (Michael Sacks) is a pill-popping veteran of Viet Nam trying to sort out the dubious good from the known evil of the war. Rona (Kaiulani Lee) is the bruised child of Selma, Ala., and Woodstock, and Carla (Shirley Knight) is an ex-go-go dancer who wanted...
...played a cuckolded dentist who turned his rival's teeth green. Shortly afterward, Wood starred on Broadway in Stoppard's first stage hit, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead. The Establishment again beckoned; the RSC had asked Wood four times before he agreed to join them. To his relief, "they accepted me completely." The RSC is now home. He can do what he wants: an iconoclastic Brutus in 1972, then the suave, icy Sherlock Holmes last year. The company even helped him buy a house. Now he has moved his wife Sylvia and their three children to the mellow...
