"SHIP OF THE FUTURE" ON MAIDEN VOYAGE Arriving in New York ready for her maiden voyage to Europe is a freighter that foreshadows the future on the high seas.

It cuts the crew by 25%. JOHNSONS CELEBRATE WEDDING MILESTONE Thirty years ago a rising young politician and Claudia Alta Taylor were married in Texas.

SPORTS FOOTBALL PITTSBURGH BLASTS ARMY 24 to 8 At West Point's Michie Stadium, the Pitt Panther roars as they claw the Cadets.

BALTIMORE COLTS BEAT VIKINGS 17 to 14 The Baltimore fans, 60,000 strong, see the league-leading Baltimore Colts take on the Vikings. The Minnesota team is the only one that had handed Baltimore a loss this year, but the Colts go on to win this game in the last few minutes with a pass from Johnny Unitas that Alex Hawkins grabs as he tumbles into the end zone.
