...Hanky-Panky" makes no announcement of flights until about a half hour before they take off, McGuire notes, though the air-crews often suspect a flight is in the offing when the maintenance on a plane is finished and night approaches. Once the crews in their respective bars are alerted and "poured out into their planes," they take off on their flights to Biafra, juggling flight plans so as to fly always at night, when the Egyptians piloting Nigeria's MIG's refuse...
McGuire does not mind talking about his closest call while flying to Biafra and one might even suspect that he takes a certain delight in it. Scheduled as a crew member on one flight, he transferred to an earlier one partly because of a quarrel with the other flight engineer, but mostly because of "a certain feeling; you get to be like a cat or some kind of an animal sometimes." The flight to which McGuire transferred was supposed to be a dangerous one. Its pilot, since given other duties, carried the sobriquet of "Mr. Magoo." It landed safely...
...floor cell in the Memphis courthouse, watched over by two ever-present deputies. Eight bright mercury-vapor lamps burn at all times. Two closed-circuit TV cameras are always trained on the cell.

That man is Sirhan Sirhan, who will stand trial in Los Angeles for the murder of Robert Kennedy...
...Establishment." Student revolutionists within SDS planned turbulent confrontations and revolutionary tactics. They manipulated facts in ways that created distrust and bred unwarranted antagonism.

Part of the responsibility for the disturbances rests upon the revolutionaries consciously seeking to subvert and destroy the University but their total number was small--much less than the full SDS membership--and their activities were only...
SEVERAL other bits are like that. The white kid says a suspect must be rich because he has an eight thousand dollar car, and the black kid (picked up in the Watts riot, you remember), replies, "May-be he's not rich. I know a cat on welfare who has a bigger car." The remark might come from a militant consciousness akin to Malcolm X's when he called welfare emasculating, but considering that the black boy is working for the police, it probably is just as absurd, vicious, and ugly as it seems...
