...charge that could cost him eight years in a forced-labor camp plus a five-year term of exile in the U.S.S.R. Crawford, a genial Alabaman, was driving to a cocktail party with his fiancée, U.S. Embassy Secretary Virginia Olbrish, when policemen accosted him at a traffic light and dragged him from his car. When his fiancée resisted the cops, she was bruised in the scuffle. Late last week, U.S. Consul Clifford Gross was allowed to visit Crawford at Moscow's Lefortovo Prison. Crawford appeared to be in good health but was distraught. U.S. officials...
...argument goes now to the Government's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which was surprised to get the Consumers Union findings; it had received no previous complaints about the Omni-Horizon. Deputy Administrator Howard Dugoff says NHTSA "cannot yet explain" how Consumers Union and Chrysler got such diametrically opposed results on the critical second test. Determining whether the first let-go-of-the-wheel test has any real relation to the auto's performance, says Dugoff, "will be tough-we will have to do some rather extensive analysis." Should Omni-Horizon fail NHTSA tests, the agency could order...

But documents uncovered and radio traffic have led Western intelligence analysts to speculate that the Shaba rebels were trained by Cubans who had been assigned by Havana to reconstruct the Katangese liberation movement. The difference between the organization, equipment and indoctrination of those who invaded Shaba last year and that of this year's rebel troops was said to be noticeable...
Driven by winds and currents, enough of these icebergs could drift southeastward into Prince William Sound and the waterways now used by supertankers ferrying oil south to virtually halt traffic. Explains Coast Guard Captain Ronald Kollmeyer: "When you have literally thousands of icebergs in the shipping lanes, you can't drive an 800-to 900-ft. tanker through that sort of gauntlet." Last August, the glacier's calving increased enough to force closing of the Valdez lanes to night traffic for nearly a week...
