...FORD AS A CAMPAIGNER. Jerry Ford's always been out helping someone else campaign. He's always had a safe district. Suddenly he's in the White House and still basically a Congressman, which isn't bad-I mean, you're more accessible. But all of a sudden he's in the big picture and running like a Congressman, still drawing for help on friends who represent districts, not states, or regions. I just haven't met a person in the campaign yet that has a broad view. Also, with eight weeks...

The pelota-three-fourths the size of a baseball and harder than a golf ball-caroms toward the 176-ft.-long side wall or arcs toward the back wall at speeds of up to 150 m.p.h.

As the 1,200-ton Turkish ship steamed toward the Dardanelles, she was saluted by a cacophony of ship's whistles...
...Philippines, President Ferdinand Marcos has declared that "no one but no one has been tortured." An investigation by the Association of Major Religious Superiors, representing the leaders of the country's Roman Catholic orders, charged that prisoners in a police and army network of detention centers and "safe houses" have been tortured by beatings, electric shock and other methods. In an unreleased report that was presented to the Philippine government for comment last fall, Amnesty International charges that torture is used in the Philippines "freely and with extreme cruelty, often over long periods...
