...death in cascades of masonry in such neighboring towns as Montevago, Gibellina, Santa Margherita di Belice, Salemi and Santa Ninfa. Montevago's lawyer, along with five companions, perished trying to race the tremors in his tiny Fiat. The town's doctor died on his way to save his mother. The earthquake was by far Italy's worst since 75,000 people were killed at the other end of tremor-prone Sicily 60 years ago. The toll: as many as 500 people dead, more than 1,000 injured and 80,000 left homeless over a 600-square-mile...
Holy War. One common objection to the war is that the U.S. is wrong in principle in trying to save South Viet Nam from Communism, especially since, it is claimed, there is no clear proof that the Saigon government represents the will of the people. Few if any of the antiwar clerics advocate handing the country directly over to Hanoi, but they argue that the U.S. has no divine mandate to use war to prevent the spread of Communism. Jesuit Theologian Daniel O'Hanlon of California's Alma College argues that the U.S. anti-Communist policy...
Skull, Neck & Eye. Gordie Howe of the Detroit Red Wings estimates that he has had 500 stitches taken in his face, and it took a delicate operation to save Howe's life after he suffered a fractured skull during the 1950 season. Five years ago, Montreal's Lou Fontinato crashed into the boards with such force that he broke his neck. Fontinato never played again-nor did Detroit's Doug Barkley, who was blinded in the right eye by an opponent's stick in 1966. Last year, players from the six teams that then made...
...probably be consummated some time in 1970. The C. & O. took effective control of the B. & O. five years ago in a move that enabled the limping B. & O. to use C. & O. credit ratings to buy new equipment ($312 million worth last year). Together, the two lines achieved savings averaging $35 million annually. By merging with the Norfolk & Western, they estimate that they can save another $30 million a year. The merger would create a system every bit as affluent as the Penn Central. It would include the Nickel Plate and the Wabash, already owned by the Norfolk & Western...
...five, Vellucci was in the tightest spot. He was voting to fire a fellow Italian-American, in a city where ethnic ties can still swing a lot of votes. Accordingly, he returned to a tried and true theme: "Save DeGug, save DeGug--how can I save DeGug when I'm trying to save a hospital for the mothers of Cambridge," he roared, recounting how he had tried to have the City's maternity ward moved to the seventh floor of the new City hospital which, he said, DeGuglielmo let Harvard have for "experiments on dogs,...cats...and monkeys...
