...strike has made other airlines "twice as busy as they have ever been," Paul M. McPerry, supervisor of reservations for American Airlines, said yesterday. This overcrowding has forced some students to leave on earlier or later flights...
Joseph Quinlan, a modest drug-company section supervisor, loves his adopted daughter, Karen Anne. That is why the squarely built man with the short graying hair found himself in court last week, pleading for permission to let her die. Karen, 21, has been in a coma since the early morning of April 15, her breathing maintained by a machine called a respirator. By all accounts she has shriveled into something scarcely human. She weighs only 60 Ibs., and she is unable to move a muscle, to speak or to think. One doctor testified last week that she had become...
...INITIATION: I was given a code name. I was told that my real name would be known only to my contact and his supervisor, that I was always to use my code name when I called in.

The supervisor tells him there's nothing he can do, just take a seat. The whole time, you can't really believe the starving man--"with 22 years of education"--is serious. He acts and talks just like a Woody Allen--mildly hurt, defensive, and wordy. Then there's a close-up of the same...
