...Aviv's Lod International Airport last May and trying to bargain for the release of 117 imprisoned fedayeen. It was sheer luck that only one passenger was killed when Israeli security men stormed into the plane with guns blazing to end the extortion attempt. Three weeks later, a trio of machine-gun toting Japanese radicals working for the fedayeen killed 26 tourists and wounded 85 inside Lod International Airport...
...Johnson's insistence, neither staff nor reporters were invited. Johnson greeted the candidates in ranch clothes and a flowing, whitish Buffalo Bill mane. Sitting in lawn chairs beneath a towering oak as they sipped iced tea, then going inside the ranch house for a steak lunch, the trio chatted for almost three hours. L.B.J. offered some campaign advice: talk to people on the phone for at least two hours every day; make sure you get a solid nap every day in your pajamas...
...smooth, 'lyrical' way. Thus the movement was robbed of both the intended contrast of the alternating elements, and the overall unity inherent in similarly-executed repetitions of the rhythmic ostinato figure. The scherzo, marked presto, was played too slowly to bring off the abundant rustic humor, while the trio, undoubtedly intended to be the lightest moment in this quartet, became a curiously contemplative "solo" for first violinist Shmuel Ashkenasi.

Yet even though Nakata had the printers take an air brush to some of the more explicit photographs, Japanese officialdom was outraged. First, customs authorities forced Nakata to have 37 "undesirable" spots in each copy daubed with ink before...
...money was to go into a trust fund for the education of the astronauts' children. The astronauts be gan to feel a bit queasy about the arrangement and finally cancelled plans for the trust fund. They never actually profited from the sale. Still, NASA officially reprimanded the trio and suggested that their future assignments were in jeopardy. Irwin has already announced his retirement, and Worden is being eased out of the space program. But Scott was reportedly in line for a general's star, and the job of chief of the Astronaut Office in Houston...
