U.S Pilot Details Recovery
From Plane’s Sudden Dive
By Robert Lindsey INGLEWOOD, Calif.,
April 13 (NYT) — A Trans World Airlines pilot whose Boeing 727 went into a twisting plunge over Michigan on April 4 testi- fied yesterday that it was only when he saw the moon glowing in the distance that he knew with certainty that he had pulled out of the perilous dive
Capt Harvey Gibson told U.S investigators his craft was plunging toward earth virtually out of con-
trol when, as a last resort,
he ordered the wheels to be lowered in the hope of creating enough drag to brake the descent
When the wheels were lowered, he said there was
“an incredible sound — un-
believable,” but he said that
the descent continued The

jetliner’s altimeter, he said,
was turning too fast for
him to read it, “but I could
see cities — lights — coming
up through the fog, and I knew we were getting close.”
Finally, he said, the drag from the wheels began to
slow the dive, and he said
that he pulled back on the control wheel of the plane
as much as he thought he could without creating so much stress on the wings that they would break off
Slowly, he said, the plane began to rise, but it was
shrouded in clouds, and
without the use of his alti-
meter, he was not certain where the craft was Then,
he said, “we broke through the clouds and we saw the moon — and we headed for

Locked in Fairy Tale
He built himself a house,
All my life I lived in.a coconut his foundations

It was cramped and dark his stones, Especially in the morning when I had to shave his walls,
But what pained me most: was that I had no way his roof overhead,
to get into touch with the outside world his chimney and smoke,
If no one out there happened to find the coconut, his view from the window
if no one cracked it, then I was doomed He made himself a garden,
to live all my life in the nut, and maybe even die there his fence,
his thyme,
1 died in the coconut
his earthworm,
A couple of years later they found the coconut, his evening dew
cracked it, and found me shrunk and crumpled inside
“What an-accident!”
“If only we had found it earlier .” And he wrapped the garden in the sky
and the house in the garden
and packed the lot in a handkerchief and went off
lone as an arctic fox
He cut out his bit of sky above
“Then maybe we could have saved him.”
“Maybe there are more of them locked in like that ”
“Whom we might be able to save,”
they said, and started knocking to pieces every through the cold
coconut within reach unending
No use! Meaningless! A waste of time! rain

Tower For Sale
When Gustave Eiffel was commissioned to: build ‘his
tower in Paris, no one, least of all he, thought it would
still be standing a ‘century later: The tower had been intended as the crowning glory of the 1889 Paris
Exhibition, but the Parisians became so attached to it that no one had the heart to take it down So there it
stayed and-soon.it became the city’s most famous landmark
By 1925 it was beginning to show signs of middle- age, and with the national economy looking far from healthy, there were widely discussed suggestions that the tower should be pulled down and its 7,000 tons of iron girders and 2'h million rivets sold off as scrap metal: There were, of course, plenty of people who defended the tower most strongly, and its fate became
an issue that no government department had any wish to handle
In the midst of these rumours five of the city’s most successful businessmen were invited to a secret meeting in one.of Paris’s most.exclusive hotels, the Hotel Crillon: They had been summoned by letters written on the official notepaper of the French Post Office; which had the responsibility of looking after the tower
At the Crillon the man from the Ministry, a Monsieur: Dante, explained why the men had been called to the meeting The government had
reluctantly decided to take down the Eiffel Tower and
he wanted them to submit tenders for the job in secret before the news started a national controversy The
five men had been selected, they were informed, for
their success, their national loyalty, and their
discretion They were duly flattered, if somewhat perplexed at the immense size of the task Again emphasizing the absolute secrecy of the deal, Dante then sent the five-men off to plan and price the job

What the five men didn’t know,;-however, was that
Dante was not in fact from the Ministry His real name was Victor Lustig, one of the century’s most successful and daring confidence tricksters Another thing they didn’t know was that Lustig had.no intention of endangering the Eiffel Tower at all His plan was simply to:trick.one-of the five businessmen, the highly ambitious André Poisson, -out of a great deal of money Lustig was sure that this man.would
do everything he could to win: the social as well as the financial fame that would come with carrying out such a controversial government contract
And in due course a delighted André Poisson found that he had indeed won the contract Meeting
Dante again at the Crillon, Poisson signed the contract
and handed over payment in advance for a quarter of the agreed price of the.7,000 tons of scrap metal
Poisson: left the Crillon with.a worthless bill of sale for the Eiffel Tower Lustig himself left shortly afterwards and was out of France that-night Yet to his: amazement the news never broke Poisson’s pride prevented him from admitting that he had been tricked on such a gigantic scale So Lustig returned to Paris for a little more business and the Eiffel Tower went.on the market once more

TO CLEAR MOLEHILLS
Tired of the ten large molehills that flourished on his lawn,.Mr Oscar Ejiamike decided to remove them After a vigorous campaign of bombing, gassing and waiting round in the dark with a raised shovel he found that the ten molehills survived intact There were also twenty-two new ones
At this point our man decided to “surprise the moles” with a midnight poisoning raid In May
1984 he drove his Jaguar 2.4 automatic to the edge
of the lawn and trained the headlamps upon the enemy zone While reaching across for the poison,
Mr Ejiamike knocked the car into reverse and accelerated through the wall of his.cottage, knocking over the electric heater, bursting his petrol tanks, setting fire to his newly decorated sitting room, and wrecking his car
While this certainly surprised the moles, it had
no effect upon the thirty-two molehills Next morning Mr Ejiamike bought twenty-two bags of ready-mixed cement and announced that he was going to concrete the lawn over

6 Read this poem, using a dictionary if you wish
Interruption at the Opera House
At the very beginning of an important symphony while the rich and famous were settling into their quietly expensive boxes
a man came crashing through the crowds carrying in his hands a cage in which the rightful owner of the music sat yellow and tiny and very poor;
and taking onto the rostrum this rather timid bird
_ he turned up the microphones, and it sang
‘A very original beginning to the evening’ said the crowds
quietly glancing at their programmes to find the significance of the intrusion
Meanwhile at the box office, the organizers of the
evening
were arranging for small and uniformed attendants
to evict, even forcefully, the intruders
But as the attendants, poor and gathered from the
nearby slums at little expense
went rushing down the aisles to do their menial
job they heard above the coughing and irritable rattling of jewels,
a sound that filled their heads with light,
and from somewhere inside them there bubbled
_ upastream, ˆ
and there came a breeze on which their youth
was carried _
How sweetly the bird sang!
And though soen the furwrapped crowds were leaving their boxes and in confusion were winding their way homeward
still the attendants sat in the aisles, and some, so delighted at what they heard, rushed out to call
their families and friends
And their children came sleepy for it was late in the evening, very late in the evening,
and they all sat listening
to the rightful owner of the music
In all the tenement blocks
the lights were clicking on and the rightful owner of the music
tiny and no longer timid sang
for the rightful owners of the song
