British soldiers ambushed in Belfast amid IRA violence
British troops faced an ambush at a Belfast intersection where a bomb exploded injuring two soldiers and killing one. A bomb squad defused a 22 pound gelignite device after a woman alerted police. The death toll this year reaches 24 as Britain announces withdrawal of 500 troops, leaving 12 000. Police hunt a Protestant motorist killer on Shankill Road as further bombs detonate and a soldier is wounded in Donegal Street.

Letters to wife used as My Lai evidence
Frederic Watke mailed daily letters from Vietnam to his wife and four children. Three letters became evidence in Col. Henderson’s court martial over failure to pursue an investigation of the My Lai civilians massacre. Watke testified he signed a false battle report to help a slain crewman earn a Bronze Star, and recounted pilots warning of civilian killings if interference occurred.

Mother's love saves life of baby Ty White
In Northern California on Mother's Day week, Pat White began labor at six months. Lodi Memorial Hospital could not handle the delivery so an ambulance transported her to Sacramento Medical Center. Doctors there slowed labor and prepared for cesarean, while Ty's father arranged a mobile incubator. After months of care by a team of 16 doctors led by Dr Beebe, baby Ty, weighing three pounds two ounces, survived the risky birth and long neonatal care.
