...head for the robust UCIA beauty. Since Alison is on her way to swap law articles with her similarly situated boy friend, the pair end up hitching their way to California together, a la It Happened One Night.

Later, the makeshift mortar tubes were bolted onto the flatbed and the vehicle was then driven into town and parked in a vacant lot close to the R.U.C. station. The nine metal tubes on the truck--each 6 ft. long and 6 in. in diameter--were linked by detonating wires, suggesting to police that they had been fired by timing devices.
