Employee Eleanor Ford, who was alone in the Holyoke Center office at the time, said she had left her desk for a moment at 1:30 P.M. when the man apparently entered and took the cash box. No suspect was apprehended...
...that the Soviet Union plans to build a large space station, Jastrow quotes the head Pentagon scientist, who last month suggested that the station "may be the forerunner of a weapons platform." That the USSR launched 125 satellites last year while NASA sent up only 18 leads Jastrow to suspect that some of the Soviet devices are actually "killer satellites that can lurk in orbit" for long periods of time until detonated from the ground.

Two Midwestern retail chains, Jewel and Walgreen, withdrew all bottles of the pain...

This, they said, made the claims not only suspect but biased and purposely misleading. Besides, charged a McDonald's spokesman, broiling is not all that Burger King does to its burgers; after the meat is flame-cooked, the patties are kept warm in steam cabinets and then reheated in microwave ovens just before serving. The implication: if a McDonald's Big Mac is greasy, then a Burger King Whopper...
