Returning to Michigan aboard his chartered plane-appropriately, a de Havilland Dove-the Governor went straight to the William Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak to pick up his wife Lenore, who had suffered a broken arm and dislocated shoulder two days earlier when she slipped in the shower at the Romneys' Bloomfield Hills home. For reasons that go beyond personal affection, Romney's aides are hoping she mends swiftly. Lenore is a considerable asset on the stump, provides a warmly feminine counterpoint to her husband's granite-jawed, combative style, and helps calm him when the going...
First conceived by the Navy in 1962, the plane went into development in 1964 because of its unique serviceability in Viet Nam. Ling-Temco-Vought, maker of the gull-winged propeller-driven Corsair fighter of World War II, produced the first craft in 18 months, has since delivered more than 125 Corsair IIs to the Navy, which has ordered 1,500 (estimated cost per craft: $1.4 million, v. $9.75 million for the F-111B). The Air Force has ordered approximately 500. The Corsair II will replace the Navy's A-4E Skyhawk and the Air Force...

Speaking for both himself and his latter-day ally, Egypt's Gamal Abdel Nasser, Hussein sought U.S. support for softening Israel's hardening terms for peace. He went at the job with vigor. Seemingly popping up everywhere, the King dashed from TV stations to speakers' platforms to conferences. He appeared on Face the Nation, delivered a major address at Georgetown University, had lunch at Washington...
...taken to calling him "Pak Harto"-Father Harto. Last week, however, several thousand students marched on the President's office for the first time since Suharto took over, bristling with anger about the rising price of rice. Suharto, who has always been considered a shy and reticent man, went out to meet them, listened briefly to their complaints and then told them off much as he would have any of his own six children...
