...would-be climbers, tightrope walkers, King Kong and New York tourists, it is the World Trade Center, at 1,350 ft. the second tallest building in the world, behind only Chicago's Sears Tower (1,454 ft.).

DIED. John J. Wrathall, 65, President of Rhodesia, who served from 1964 to 1975 as his country's Finance Minister; of a heart attack; in Salisbury. One of Rhodesia's chief strategists in its fight against U.N. trade sanctions, the British-born Wrathall frequently lambasted London for participating in the embargo that followed his country's declaration of independence in 1965.
