...heroic," says Ronald G. Talney of the Multnomah County, Ore., sheriff's department. But policewomen might avoid such assaults simply because "it is cowardly to attack a woman, even though she is a police officer." Actual incidents seem to support Talney's view: a child-beating suspect who had twice resisted arrest surrendered peacefully when Private Mary Ellen Abrecht and two Washington patrolmen came to his door...
...suspect that the Peter Bogdanovich phenomenon will finally prove more interesting than any film he is likely to make. More than a mere maker of movies, he has resolved to be a director-cum- personality and so has entered the front line of media in-fighting.

Most brought gifts from Iraq. Yugoslav health officials suspect that some also brought back variola major, the most virulent form of smallpox. Two weeks after their homecoming -variola's incubation period-several of the travelers came down with smallpox, triggering an epidemic that has infected 155 and killed at least 28 in just a month. Only now is the outbreak being brought under control...
