...commands from the bridge to his crew. Some of his men were forward, and the rest were aft around the helicopter pad. Because of the fierce blaze amidships, they were cut off from each other, and for a while the men in each group were afraid they were the sole survivors. On the forward deck, rescue crews carried wounded and burned men to a comparatively safe area in front of the missile housing, where they lay on the deck in a cold, drizzling rain...
...P.L.O. My first reaction is sorrow that a superpower with special responsibility for world peace and immense interests in this region ties its decisions to those of Israel. Particularly because the P.L.O. is recognized by the great majority of world countries as sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people, who are at the core of the Middle East problem.

Dole, who narrowly won re-election in 1974, convinced voters that he had been unfairly besmirched by Watergate: he appeared in TV ads with mud on his face...
...superfluity of contribution by the spectators. Only after the players had arrived at Hamilton field did someone notice there were no goalposts. A frantic last minute search turned up nothing better than clothesline attached to parallel stakes. Throughout the game both lines held tightly, Yale scoring the contest's sole goal towards the end of the first half. Then, with only a minute or so remaining, Harvard launched a fearsome drive, muscling the ball near the Eli goal line. Suddenly, a barrage of Yale fans stormed the field. They disrupted play and, despite cries of "hold that line," tore down...
