Kennedy freed from Aden plane hijack ordeal

Aden South Yemen AP Kennedy, son of the late Robert F. Kennedy, was released after 18 hours aboard a commandeered German jumbo jet at Aden airport.

The plane’s crew remained hostages, and hijackers sought releases of Palestinians on trial in Cairo. Kennedy told reporters he had been frightened but not for long and spoke briefly with one hijacker who recognized him.

McDonald’s paid a record 11.40 a pound, while a protest over whether the animal was legally an Angus or a three quarter Charolais named Jeep prompted blood tests and affidavits.
