...case. After releasing the plane, Ankara granted political asylum to the Bransizkases. Moreover, despite attempts of the Trebizond prosecutor to bring the pair to trial on charges of murder, the courts quickly freed them. In an age of rising air piracy, Turkey's astonishing action seemed to sanction a double standard for "good" and "bad" hijackers (TIME, Sept. 28)-though it is difficult to see how the Bransizkases could be accorded much sympathy, whatever their political problems at home.

This month it gained a foothold at the Queen of Angels Hospital in Los Angeles: pantsuits for nurses. With official sanction, 20 of the hospital's 400 nurses broke the ice by wearing the snappy new suits in the out-patient clinic, many more were planning to buy one ($14 for the A-shaped tunic, $8 for the pants). Some older nurses feel that the pantsuits look "unprofessional." But even they admit that because of all the leaning, reaching...
