Entebbe Too. So it seems. "The hijackers were very kind. We could do anything on the plane, even chat with them," said Febe Poblete, 20, a native of Manila who was skyjacked by Filipinos last April on a flight out of Hong Kong. Said a stewardess on the same flight: "The leader kissed us before we left. I already miss him." A French woman, released by the skyjackers of the Air France jet just before the Israeli rescue at Entebbe thought the terrorists had been "wonderful." In another skyjacking, a steward liked his Arab captors so much that he accepted...

Helped mightily by a $768 million black-ink bequest from Predecessor Ronald Reagan, Brown honored his pledge to hold the line on taxes for individuals while keeping state spending growth to sub-Reagan rates. He signed into law a backlog of Reagan-blocked measures: new business taxes, a liberalized marijuana...
...soon as the Cows were added to its beverage list, and the airline is now selling special $1 "cow chips"-ersatz gold tokens, embellished with a cow, good for three drinks. Continental's thirstiest "Cowboys" seem to be women -and college students of both sexes. Explains Stewardess Becky Schnehl: "Maybe it's a carryover from their milkshake days. The sweetness appeals, and so does the fact that they usually can't taste the alcohol in it." Elaine Drakos, a teacher from Huntington, Long Island, has found another virtue in Cows. Says she: "They're great...
