After an elderly woman was mugged in an alley in San Pedro, Calif., a witness saw a blonde girl with a ponytail run from the alley and jump into a yellow car driven by a bearded Negro. Eventually tried for the crime, Janet and Malcolm Collins were faced with the circumstantial evidence that she was white, blonde and wore a ponytail while her Negro husband owned a yellow car and wore a beard. The prosecution, impressed by the unusual nature and number of matching details, sought to persuade the jury by invoking a law rarely used in a courtroom...

When her case is finally reviewed, the lady Leatherneck, who enlisted straight from school in Grand Junction, Colo., hopes to be reduced to the rank of civilian...
First-time passengers on Nairobi-based East African Airways are almost always noticeably nervous. And with reason. Emblazoned with the national colors (green, yellow, red, white, black and blue) of its three partners (Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania), E.A.A. planes look like a wild trip even when they are on the ground. To make matters worse, travelers in Africa are usually aware that the line's 30,000-mile network covers some of the world's roughest terrain, including bush runways plagued with mud and giant anthills that can rise up between flights. Yet for all its drawbacks, E.A.A...
