...event in recent memory has more angered both the President and the American public than the forcible return of a defecting Lithuanian sailor to his Soviet ship last month. Simas (short for Simonas) Kudirka sought asylum aboard the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Vigilant during a rendezvous-to discuss North Atlantic fishing rights-between the two vessels in U.S. territorial waters off Cape Cod. The incident resulted in the suspension of Rear Admiral William B. Ellis, commander of the Coast Guard's First District in Boston, his chief of staff, Captain Fletcher Brown, and Vigilant's skipper, Commander Ralph...
Desperately eager to check the disturbances with no further loss of life, the Polish government at week's end took a more conciliatory stance-even though the curfews remained in effect and tanks stood guard.

He recalled coming upon a group of 30 or 40 Vietnamese civilians gathered at an intersection and under guard by former Pfc. Paul Meadlo. (Meadlo has so far refused to testify at the trial, claiming the constitutional privilege against self-incrimination.) According to Sledge, Calley went up to Meadlo and ordered him to "waste 'em, and Meadlo started shooting into the people−about ten feet away." Next...
Harvard had four players in double figures-Mustoe, Dover, Lewis with ten points, and junior guard Matt Bozek with 12. That kind of balanced scoring, if it continues, will shield the Crimson from strong individual defensive performances by its opponents...
