...able to read KLM's in-flight magazine, featuring their skipper, Captain Veldhuizen, as a handsome example of the airline's reputation for "reliability." When word was radioed to the crew that Las Palmas Airport had been closed because terrorists had touched off a bomb in a local flower shop, injuring eight people, they landed at Tenerife instead. Veldhuizen took advantage of the delay to refuel his plane for the flight back to Holland. He took on 21,000 gallons...
Only Sop. Suddenly the rest of labor's legislative program is in deep trouble. A prime example: repeal of Section 14B of the Taft-Hartley Act, which permits states to outlaw the union shop. Congressional leaders, smarting from the common-situs debacle, are unlikely even to introduce a repeal bill. There are other indications of labor's rapidly declining political clout. Carter passed over the AFL-CIO'S choices for Secretary of Labor (John Dunlop) and Secretary of Defense (James Schlesinger). He also has named New York City Human Rights Commissioner Eleanor Holmes Norton to head...

A tea-shop owner was ordered to submit to a vasectomy, "or we will burn down your shop." He agreed, even though his wife was past the childbearing age. In Delhi, a man of 25 agreed to be sterilized in order to receive medical treatment at a hospital. After a police attack on the Muslim village of Uttawar, southwest of Delhi, 800 vasectomies were performed-giving Uttawar, as the Indian Express noted...
...children's playground downtown, he was told only that it "belongs to the government." In fact, it is Hoa Lo prison, the notorious "Hanoi Hilton," where captured Americans were held. Today it serves as a jail for common criminals. Another visitor noticed on sale in a shop a stack of pocket-size packages of Kleenex, obviously liberated from a U.S. Army PX in the South. His escort explained, "That is merely a souvenir from Ho Chi Minh City [as Saigon has been renamed]." Our guides unabashedly confessed to listening to the Voice of America. They prefer country-and-western...
