...Hoffa vanished. O'Brien stoutly insisted that he had not been in the area. But he readily admitted that he was there the following morning by what he claimed was a bizarre coincidence. He said he was often picked up at the site by a Teamster official and driven to work-a claim that checked...
...tourists at Tel Aviv's Lod Airport in June 1972. Last week in the Malaysian capital of Kuala Lumpur, five Red Army members stormed a 14-story downtown office building where more than 1,000 people were at work. Spraying gunfire around the ninth floor, the site of a U.S. passport office and the Swedish embassy, the terrorists wounded three guards and seized 53 hostages, among them the American consul and the Swedish chargé d'affaires...
Among other overlooked camping areas within easy reach of a city is Montana's Fishtrap fishing-access site in the Big Hole River Valley, about 40 miles southwest of Butte. Not far from its campsites, moose, elk, deer, antelope, mountain sheep and goats graze.

Instead of jet fuel, which would contaminate Mars with hydrocarbons, the landers' descent rockets are powered by purified hydrazine, a nitrogen...

In the lush, verdant Azores, 1,000 miles off Portugal's coast-and site of the U.S.'s important Lajes airbase -there is increasingly serious talk of breaking away from Lisbon. Mild discontent has long simmered in the islands. The 300,000 inhabitants have resented paying higher taxes and higher prices than the mainland Portuguese. In recent months, this bitterness has flared into open hostility as the predominantly conservative Azorians have been jolted by the leftward drift of the mainland's politics...
