...high school student. He was kidnaped by Patty and her S.L.A. companions, Emily and William Harris, during their frantic escape after shooting up a Los Angeles sporting-goods store the day before the fiery siege in which six of the S.L.A. gang members died. For twelve hours, the trio held Matthews captive while driving aimlessly around the Los Angeles area in his van. They even stopped for a while in a drive-in movie. Immediately after his release, Matthews, fearing reprisal by the S.L.A., did not tell the authorities that Patty had been in the truck. But two days after...
...trio of commandos, dressed in jeans and carrying knapsacks filled with explosives, first surfaced at midnight along the Safad road two miles from Ma'alot. One of them stepped into the highway and attempted to stop a truck carrying seven Arab women home to the village of Fassouta from night-shift work at a nearby textile plant. When the truck driver, aware that an alert was on, refused to stop, two of the Arabs opened fire. One woman was instantly killed, another mortally wounded, and all the others were hurt. The truck's engine was shot out. Driver Faiz Saad...
Still, say the doctors, exercise is an important element of any weight-control program.

This may not seem like much, but the Air Force physicians note that a runner who does this regularly can lose ten pounds a year-if he does not increase his caloric intake. In fact, if a runner...
...immediate problem, don't you think you have to handle [E. Howard] Hunt's financial situation damn soon?" Particularly helpful were readings from the transcripts by CBS newsmen taking the parts of the President (Barry Ser-afin), Dean (Bob Schieffer) and Haldeman (Nelson Benton). The trio stood behind 19th century lecterns like Chautauqua troupers and read tonelessly to avoid possibly inaccurate inflections. Nevertheless, they lent some human clarity to the welter of words...
...first movement, Allegro, was refined to the last trill. Communication between the members of the trio was heartfelt, but the blending of the piano, cello, and violin depended on where you sat. People on the right had trouble hearing Kogan, people in back, Ma, and people on the left, Chang. This mattered little in the second movement, which was the evening's highlight. A rush of applause and ovation cheered the trio for one of the most exciting performances at Harvard in many years...
