...hunt code-named Operation Scorpio-was the most recently captured: Bernabe Buscayno, 32, alias Commander Dante, a veteran guerrilla who rose from a peasant background to become commander in chief of the N.P.A. He had been arrested only the week before-with humiliating ease -while asleep at his family's rural home. Buscayno was visiting his two-week-old daughter (named Malaya, "free") and his wife Mila, who had been released from detention in June and apparently served as an unwitting lure. Army soldiers closed in at 3 a.m. and Buscayno surrendered without a fight. He walked...
Though U.C.L.A. Coach John Wooden professed no special concern, he had more than enough to worry about. A two-week-old back injury had kept Walton out of three games, and he would almost surely be needed against Notre Dame. Led by high-scoring Center John Shumate (6 ft. 9 in.), the Irish, with their relentless full-court press and finely tuned fast break, had overrun their opponents by an average of 26 points a game...
PEACE, proclaimed the banner at the head of the procession. The marchers were 3,000 war-weary Catholics from the Lenadoon Avenue district of West Belfast. After the two-week-old cease-fire broke down, Lenadoon Avenue became a no man's land between British troops and I.R.A. guerrillas.

Long before they had a chance to consider returning home, all talk of peace was shattered by the worst bombing attack in Ulster...
...shirt journalism has established a new deadline record of sorts. Last week, even while the Howard Hughes manuscript case was still unfolding, a two-week-old company named Flame Enterprises began distributing two timely T shirts. One shows the great recluse, in scarf and goggles, at the controls of a plane called Helga (for Helga R. Hughes, the name used by Author Clifford Irving's wife in opening a Swiss bank account). The other is simply a portrait of the mustachioed billionaire signed "H.R. Hughs." Were the T-shirt journalists guilty of a typo in the misspelling of Hughes...
...about to go off pills when I read an article about American Indian children and I thought, why not?" That, as Housewife Judy Meredith of Boston explains it, is how she and her husband-both white-came to adopt a 13-month-old Indian called Tommy and a two-week-old black baby named Jackie. The Merediths' decision is part of a growing phenomenon known in sociologist's jargon as transracial adoption. Last year 2,200 black babies were adopted by white U.S. families, compared with only 700 in 1968. Today there are more than 10,000 "T.R.A...
