Clearly, this motive was present in the eighteen attempts (eleven successes, seven failures) to flee Eastern European countries since 1960 by hijackers …

Happily, their endeavors were rewarded on April 29, when Vanderbilt won the National Championship by defeating the team from Harvard Law School in the final round of the fifth …
