A person reads every report. Corrections are made by hand, to the data — titles, dates, names, which pages belong together — never to the scans, and they can take a while to appear.

D.B. Cooper's fate
PRESS-association reports on the hijacking of a Frontier Airlines jetliner in Nebraska re-ferred to the "successful hi-jacking" of a plane by "D.B. Cooper" after take-off from Seattle on Thanksgiving Eve, 1971. We beg to take issue with our wire-service colleagues. There is no evidence that Cooper's ep-isode was successful. True, Cooper bailed out over Southwest Washington and dis-appeared. True, the ransom funds he carried have never turned up. But chances are, Cooper's re-mains and those of a torn para-chute will be found some day in the limbs of a tree in the track-less forests of Clark or Cowlitz County. The money will be there, too. If Cooper had fallen into the hands of the law at the time of his misbegotten adventure, he might have been out on parole today. Probably that would have been a more "successful" outcome for him than what really happened.
