...dived for cover into one courtyard, the others into an adjoining one. Outside in the street, a tremendous explosion resounded-either an M-79 grenade or a 60-mm. mortar shell. Three of the other newsmen, peering out a door, were wounded by blast fragments. UPI photographer Steve Van Meter asked an old man in a nearby building for some mosquito netting to bandage our wounded. The man shook his head. We offered him 500 piastres. Still no. With that Van Meter brushed the man aside, took the netting. The firefight was over with the big blast. Twenty minutes later...
ITEM: The Dick Van Dyke Show got four Emmys. It has just gone off the air for good. Maybe the way to get more awards is to make sure that the program is going to die. Kill any two situation comedies favorably received by critics...
...Oxford Bible approved for Catholics leaves the RSV text and footnotes unchanged; instead, two Catholic scholars-Jesuit Biblicist W. Van Etten Casey of Holy Cross and Father Philip King of St. John's Seminary in Boston-merely made a few additions to the Oxford annotations that were approved by the Bible's Protestant editors.

The title song and Act I finale is Jerry Herman's lucky bid to match his Hello, Dolly! number; the opening-night audience swamped it in applause the moment it began...
...Pole. So small (5 ft. 6 in., 138 lbs.) that he could barely see over the hood of his Dean Van Lines Hawk, Italian-born Mario Andretti, 26, averaged 165.8 m.p.h. to sew up the pole position. Scotland's Jimmy Clark, the 1965 winner, came next with a clocking of 164.1 m.p.h. The once reliable Offenhauser engine, winner of 18 out of the last 19 500s, but consigned to oblivion after Ford swept the first four places last year, made its comeback-in the hands of Parnelli Jones, who clocked 162.4 m.p.h. A. J. Foyt was not ready...
