...probably never know exactly what happened," says a U.S. Defense official of the forced landing of Korean Air Lines' wayward Flight 902 after it had blundered into Soviet airspace on the night of April 20. Indeed, the full story of how the errant Paris-to-Anchorage-to-Seoul polar flight came to be fired upon over the strategic Kola Peninsula will probably be known only to the Soviets. But parts of the picture have begun to emerge, both from U.S. intelligence sources and from the 106 passengers and those crew members who finally were returned home early last week...
...Club in Sutton, Massachusetts. These four formed the crest of the Pleasant Valley greens-keeping cyclone before which another fighting Harvard golf team was swept over the precipice at the hilly, 6,700-yard wash-board road-test masquerading as a golf links yesterday afternoon as the spectators--a wayward orienteering expedition, a Japanese agronomist and a golf-ball salesman--peered down on the bewildering panorama spread on the winter-killed brown swales and hillocks of not-so-Pleasant Valley...

On the more positive side, the picture suggests that if salvation is to be had, it lies in that pragmatic resistance to the con that has traditionally characterized the American spirit and is so charmingly exemplified by Reynolds...
...miners lost their lives in the worst mining disaster in recent times. Ahead is the murder of Yablonski by Tony Boyle's thugs. These are the last-gasp days of the New Left--SDS has splintered, and when Hobie gets to Boston he falls in with one of the wayward factions left by the rupture, a remnant that went neither with the Weathermen or Progressive Labor which Sayles calls "Third Way." Hobie's adventures with these self-styled urban guerillas as take place in the shadow of the Harvard strike and the B.U. take-over that started...
