...Germans were not even sure who they were. The names they gave-Samer Mohamed Abdulah, 22; Abed Kair Al Dnavy, 21; and Ibrahim Mosoud Badnar, 20-were more than likely false. Their pictures were flashed on television to see if viewers could identify the men and help trace their path to Munich. Black September demanded their release under threat of further atrocities. Reports circulated that police were seeking 14 other Arabs as terrorists...

...days of Cathy Leroy and Michele Ray, girl reporters in Viet Nam seemed to be trying to out-tough Hemingway. Frances FitzGerald's voice is low and her style quiet, though she is known as Frankie. There is even a trace of the debutante she once was in the way her eyes dilate when she wants to emphasize a point. That observation would irritate her. Days at the fashionable Foxcroft School now seem "too dreadful to talk about." Radcliffe was better-"one learned to think in long phrases." She graduated in 1962 with a magna in history, writing...
