Wife of Beirut AP Chief Describes Cyprus Horrors
Editor's Note: Inge Hawkins, wife of Associated Press Beirut Bureau Chief Frank N. Hawkinson Jr., was vacationing in Cyprus when the island exploded with a coup and the invasion by Turkish troops. She was evacuated in June. Her story, here is her story.
BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP)—We were on the third floor of the Ledra Palace Hotel Saturday morning when it started. Frank watched the Turkish parrots roamed down in the Turkish sector of Nicosia and soon our firefight began all around.
I took the children down to the first-floor corridor where I was told it would be safer.

It had quieted by mid-morning Sunday, and we moved up to the lobby and registered for a possible evacuation convoy. A German embassy official, who had been in from Athens, asked if there were any wounds, in fact, including myself, raised their hands.
There was still some light shooting. He hesitated, but finally said "OK, let's go." And with the official we all ran out to four young children and I and several other German

National League All-Stars Win, 7-2
Two Hits by Garvey Spark Third Straight Victory
PITTSBURGH (AP)—Steve Garvey, playing despite a painful ear infection, slashed two hits last night that keyed a pair of rallies and helped the National League continue its All-Star domination with a 7-2 victory over the American League.
It was the 11th victory in the past 12 All-Star games for the National League, which now has a 26-18-1 lead in a series it once trailed 12-4.
Garvey, who missed last weekend's games with his Los Angeles Dodgers because of the ear infection, was considered a doubtful starter until he arrived here on the eve of the 45th All-Star Game. But he insisted on playing.
He had a single and a double, driving in one run and scoring another. In addition he

KU and Nebraska U to Join In American Studies Plan
The University of Kansas and the University of Nebraska have drawn up plans for a cooperative program in American studies, according to Norman Yetman, associate professor of American studies.
Early last spring, Nebraska approached KU for assistance in designing and creating an American studies program in Nebraska, Yetman said yesterday. KU has both undergraduate and graduate programs in American studies.
"Out of these discussions grew an interest in establishing a cooperative program because of the interests of both institutions in Plains culture." Yetman said.
I. cooperative relationship would be useful to both universities, according to Yetman, because they are located in the same region and would have the opportunity for other complementary programs in the future.
The program has been planned to have two distinct phases, Yetam said. The first phase would involve a seminar at KU next year and the second at UT in American studies and five Nebraska
faculty members, each holding degrees in different areas.
the game's Most Valuable Player.
He said the summer seminar would be designed to enable Nebraska to set up its own summer institute.
"things are very much in the planning stage right now," Yetman said.
In the second phase of the program, tentatively planned for the summer of 1977, both Nebraska and KU would develop summer institutes, Yetman said.
KU would offer an institute for junior college and college instructors from Kansas and Nebraska. In turn, Nebraska would offer a two-year secondary school teachers from both states.
Forrest Berghorn, associate professor of American studies, said the program would be helpful for college and high school students in teaching from interdisciplinary bases.

flags mounted on them. I hoped they would keep us from being fired upon. Greek soldiers waved us through. They gave us a ride to the Royal Hotel, but cautioned, "Go, go quickly."
In late May, Yetman and a Nebraska faculty member jointly submitted a funding proposal for the program to 15 granting agencies. Yetman said he was not sure what would happen if the project was not financed.
A British convoy of 1,000 cars was to take us to the British base at Dhekelia on the southeastern part of the island. Everyone was still nervous. We still didn't know what was going to happen. We were like war refugees—and I guess we were.
Then his double in the fourth off losing pitcher Luis Tiant of Boston paced a two-run rally that put the Nationals in front to stay.
Later, the speed of Lou Brock, a booming home run by Reggie Smith and Don Kessinger's triple added insurance runs for 2014 and 2015. The Americans for the third straight year.
The evening started in bizarre fashion with controversial Dick Allen, the manager of a video game that absent until minutes before game time. Manager Dick Williams was prepared to start either Carl Yastremak or John Mayberry until Allen showed up just before he left.
Once at the base, we slept on the floor at the officers' club. But we were glad to be
His visit to Three Rivers Stadium lasted less than three innings, but the Chicago White Sox slugger drilled a run-scorring single during a two-run American League rally in the top of the third. Then Allen showered and left.
After Gaylord Perry had disposed of the first five National League batters, three of them on strikeouts, Garvey singled and then scored when Cey doubled.
That rally was the American League's only lead and wiped out an early 1-0 National League lead which had been overturned by a Jodger teammate, third baseman Ron Cey.
That run had the standing-room-only crowd of 50,706 roaring for the home favorites, but the Americans, who had pledged to go all out to win this game in light of their many recent failures, quickly struck back.
