...said Pete Lazansky of Tulsa, whose parents were on board. Other passengers included Kathryn Davis and her fiance James Hoskins Jr., both 22 and from Indianapolis, whose parents had given them European vacations as college graduation presents. "I was going to pick her up this evening," said Stockbroker Stephen Davis of his daughter. "We just sit here and wait." In Florissant, Mo., Katharine Ellerbrock tuned in a morning TV show and realized that she was listening to the recorded voice of her brother, Flight Engineer Benjamin Zimmerman, talking to the Beirut control tower.

Hungarian-born Stephen Vizinczey, 52, already has one worldwide best seller to his credit. In Praise of Older Women (1965), a fictionalized erotic memoir of an apparently insatiable young man, was rejected by so many publishers that Vizinczey quit his broadcasting job in Toronto and paid to have the book printed.

...Frustaci could hardly have been anything but quintessentially proud parents. Though two of their seven tiny infants had not survived the largest U.S. multiple birth ever, the remaining five were clinging to life and now have names. Previously dubbed babies A to E, they are Patricia Ann, James Martin, Stephen Earl, Bonnie Marie and Richard Charles. "They're beautiful," said Mrs. Frustaci. "I just hope they live." All have a better than fifty-fifty chance of survival. But James Martin and Bonnie Marie still have serious lung problems, and none of the five yet weighs more than...
