Among the retirees is Peggy Polinsky, 34, who can trace her bona fides back to longtime residence in Haight-Ashbury, when that was the world capital of hippiedom. Now a mother of two and the wife of an actor who works in soap operas, she has brought her brood, because "city kids don't get a chance to play in the dirt much. Besides, I used to go to a lot of these things." But rock concerts today are not the same as their 1960s antecedents, she insists, surveying with disgust the already growing carpet of empty beer cans...
...while ostensibly on a skiing vacation in Europe with his wife, Shadrin had a prearranged meeting with two KGB officers on the steps of a church in Vienna, then vanished. At Ewa's insistence, the U.S. repeatedly asked the Soviets for information about Shadrin's fate. Gerald Ford sent an inquiry to Leonid Brezhnev, who replied vaguely that the KGB had not kidnaped Shadrin. U.S. officials told reporters that Shadrin was probably dead or in a Soviet prison.

...John Le Carré plot. TIME has learned that in 1966 a KGB agent known as Igor was posted as a diplomat to the Soviet embassy in Washington.

Shortly after followed a letter of goodbye from Moro to his family. "Dear Nora," Moro wrote to his wife of 33 years, Eleonora, "soon they will kill me. The friends could have saved me but did not. I kiss you for the last time. Kiss the children for me." In a series of late-night phone calls to party leaders, Mrs. Moro pleaded once more for a change...
Thousands of Bostonians strolled on the Common among a ten-man jazz band, clowns and belly dancers. In New York City, where the celebration was organized by Robert Redford's wife Lola, about 500 people at the United Nations Plaza droned an appropriate mantra at dawn: "Sun-nun-nun-nua ..." In Greenwich Village, eighth-grade students from St. Luke's School cooked chocolate-chip cookies and hot dogs on solar grills; at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, the Omega Liturgical Dance Company re-enacted a Renaissance ceremony in which a ball symbolizing the sun is passed...
