Paratrooper earns overdue Silver Star decades late
James Costa, 55, attending a Korean War reunion in Unity New Hampshire, finally receives the Silver Star he earned in 1953 after informing Gen Westmoreland of the award. The medal arrived when a parachutist dropped in front of Costa and his comrades bearing the long overdue honor. Costa was wounded while singlehandedly repelling a Chinese assault in the Kumwha Valley on July 19 1953. Costa said the moment capped years of pursuit and finally recognized his gallantry.

Israel cut water and power as a warning to 600 000 civilians and U N relief workers said armed guerrillas blocked aid deliveries. Reagan denied deadlines as Habib sought an unequivocal pledge from the PLO to leave Beirut.
