Joaquim Pineiro Da Silva, 27, a Portuguese cabin steward, learned of the slaying after one of the terrorists entered the ship's main lounge and motioned to him and Ferruccio Alberti, the cruise hairdresser.

General William Westmoreland marched for a bit, then dropped out to watch from the reviewing stand, but finally rejoined the straggle in the street (against the advice of police) when passing Army vets invited him with the call, "Westy!
