...them. Recovering his composure when it was his turn to speak, the Shah thanked Carter for "your very warm welcome," and the official party quickly retreated to the White House. Out on Pennsylvania Avenue, it took police another hour to get the melee under control. The day's toll: 92 demonstrators and 27 policemen injured...

...completed their runs and wheeled back to base, three villages-'Izziyah, Hinniyah and Burj al Shamali-had been all but wiped out. The Lebanese government claimed that at least 119 people, most of them women and children, were dead and more than 200 were wounded.

The film's final ten minutes are a minor scandal. After wasting an audience's time for two hours, the movie unleashes a gory, cathartic fantasy sequence in which the hero relives the horrors of his Viet Nam combat. Film makers who exploit the tragedy of war to prop...

Louis Leakey did not take kindly to the acclaim that began pouring down on Richard. For years Louis had dominated African anthropology, at least in part by intimidating his rivals. But the elder Leakey's rugged existence was beginning to exact its toll. Never one to take care of himself, he had been suffering for years from the cumulative effects of tropical diseases, concussions, bee stings and snakebites. He had also seen his son assume the directorship of the National Museums of Kenya. Now the conflict between the two became so intense that it threatened to split the family. Mary...
