"After traveling about 25 miles northward along the front," he reports, "our convoy came to a halt when an artillery shell exploded 300 yds. away. Then an Israeli Skyhawk streaked past. Later newsmen saw smoke rising from what they thought was a bomb hit. But the unit commander said it was the plane, which had been shot down." Diplomatic Editor Jerrold Schecter, usually based in Washington, arrived in Benghazi two days after Wynn, followed the same trail across the desert and later joined Wynn...
...greets you almost as soon as you arrive in Syria's capital. At perhaps 25,000 ft. over this city of mosques and markets, an Israeli jet, easily visible to the eye, explodes in a tiny flash and a puff of whitish smoke.

And, finally, we see the ever-pensive Stephen Stills explaining that songs are written for self-assurance and that when the New Age comes, we won't need words. One can only wonder if marijuana really does rot the brain...
Students are free to smoke in the toilet and take food into the classroom. They sharpen their wits by playing a classroom version of the television game show Jeopardy. Field trips have included a canoe trip to learn firsthand how pollutants poison a river. A recent guest lecturer gave a frank talk on how to run a quick-fry chicken outlet...
