...Polish-born American diplomat, Constantine Warvariv, 53, using prefabricated evidence of wartime collaboration with the Nazis. Some State Department officials, still furious about the Lusis case, suspect the attempted blackmail of Warvariv was a Soviet retaliation for the schoolboy affair. More likely, the two incidents were unrelated, except as twin pieces of evidence that spooks will be spooks, it seems, regardless of the initials under which they operate...
...Russian plane, nicknamed Concordski by Westerners, looked almost like a twin of the Concorde with its ant-eater nose and swept-back delta wings, though its white fuselage was badly in need of a bath or a paint job. Also like the Concorde, the Tu-144 had a small cabin with narrow aisles and elbow-to-elbow seating; it carried a maximum of 140 passengers (the Concorde carries only 100).

For the past few weeks 70 Eastern Air Lines pilots have been shooting practice landings there to familiarize themselves with the A300 Airbus, a twin-engine, European-made wide-bodied jet.

If all goes well, says President Frank Borman, Eastern may buy as many as 50 Airbuses at $25 million each...
Like last year's Little Flag Cooperative's production of "Fanshen," "Emma" is theater with an unmistakeable political message. Battling against the twin injustices of sexual discrimination and economic inequality, Zinn's Emma Goldman is both a social activist and humanist in her diverse roles as union organizer, lecturer, social worker and midwife...
