Farewell to the most recent additions to the cast. To Colonel Potter who saw the war as a Zane Grey western. To Charles Emerson Winchester III, Harvard's own representative to the 4077th. To B.J. Honnicut, whose quiet manner let him get away with murder...
...Pioneer Airlines commuter plane was missing in treacherous icy weather, a copter crew from one station refused to take off and another crew turned back in midflight. But Key, the nation's first woman TV reporter-helicopter pilot, pressed on. Within 45 minutes, she and Mechanic Larry G.
