...DIED. Willem Van Otterloo, 70, longtime no-nonsense conductor of The Hague Philharmonic Orchestra; in a car accident in Melbourne, Australia. Noted for his unsentimental interpretations of latter-day romantics like Bruckner, Van Otterloo led the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra from 1965 to 1971, and the Sydney Symphony Orchestra from...
...British Admiral of the Fleet Sir Peter Hill-Norton dismisses the neutron bomb as "sexy for the media [but] a new dimension of warfare that we do not want to go into." The Dutch are attempting to keep the bomb out of the NATO arsenal and Christian Democratic Leader Willem Aantjes declared last week that the false report of Carter's decision was "extremely good news" because "the introduction of new weapons has only resulted in the intensification of the arms race."

A week earlier more than 50 black leaders had been placed under detention...
...meet with him in Manalapan, Fla. -De Mohrenschildt apparently committed suicide, by putting a 20-gauge shotgun in his mouth and pulling the trigger. Suddenly there was intense interest in what he might have told the investigator. Sure enough, within 48 hours, a world-traveling Dutch TV newsman, Willem Oltmans, showed up to reveal to a closed session of the House Select Committee on Assassinations-plus ABC, NBC and CBS-what De Mohrenschildt had been telling him during the several years of their acquaintance...
