EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif.
(AP) Joyful tears, whoops of delight
and a wave of strong emotion swelled
from 150,000 onlookers yesterday as they
watched a spacecraft transformed from
"a little white dot" to land as Columbia,
pride of the United States' space pro
gram.
"Beautiful," "exciting" and "gor
geous" were among superlatives uttered
by those who watched America's latest
space pioneers touch down on a desert
landing strip at Edwards Air Force Base.
The onlookers were gathered at two
areas on opposite sides of the dry lake
bed. Most of the general public were at a
remote area dubbed "Columbia City,"
while the VIPs invited by the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration
were closer to the scheduled landing site.
The VIPs, including actors Roy Rogers
and Leonard Nimoy and former astro
nauts Scott Carpenter and Rusty
Schweickart, drank coffee and ate coo
kies as they waited in tents carpeted with
Astroturf. At "Columbia City," shelter
was provided by recreational vehicles
and trailers -- some of Which arrived as
early as Sunday.
When the shuttle appeared, both gath
erings erupted with similar celebrations,
and the cheers and whoops stetched
toward each other across the lakebed.
"Come on, come on" one person
shouted amid the cheers from the VIP
section as the space shuttle finally came
to a stop.
n i t'
"I'm just about as proud as a big dog,"
said Mike Hubener of Palmdale, who
watched from "Columbia City."
"I've been calm, cool and collected all
day and that's a big lie," Hubener
said. "I've drank a six-pack of beer and
smoked a pack of cigarettes. But it looks
beautiful. It's fantastic. I'm so proud."
Many celebrities retreated to the shade

Three civilian,s
By ALEX EPI'Y
Associated Press Writer
BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) Government ministers
and deputies dove for shelter yesterday when mortar
and machine gun fire crashed around the Lebanese
Parliament building. After three hours, soldiers from
both sides of the capital's Moslem-Christian frontier
whisked the officials to safety.
Syrian peacekeeping forces and Lebanon's rightist
Christian militias accused each other of starting the
shooting, which threatened a precarious 6-day-old
cease-fire in the bloody Syrian-Christian confrontation.
One guard was wounded on the Parliament grounds
and three civilians were reported killed in the sudden
flareup of mortar and small arms exchanges.
"This shelling is a challenge to the dignity of the
state," Parliament Speaker Kamal Assad said after his
rescue.
Spain experiences most violent day this year
By JULIE FLINT
UPI Staff Writer
MADRID, Spain (UPI) Basque se
paratist guerrillas released Spain's kid
napped "chicken and ice cream king"
yesterday but later shot and killed two
retired army officers and a bu s iness
executive in the nation's bloodiest day of
political violence this year.
With army units sent to the region two
weeks ago to combat terrorism, the new
assassinations raised the possibility of a
state of emergency being declared in the
Basque region.
The opposition Socialist Party charged
the increased terror campaign by ETA

Page, director of the Kennedy Space
Center, stood outside to bask in the
congratulations.
"Overall, one word describes it
fantastic!" he said. "For a first-time
mission, words are hard to come by to
describe it."
Many of those who turned out to see the
Columbia work for the Rockwell Interna
tional plant in nearby Palmdale, where
the shuttle was assembled. ,
"Tens of thousands of our employees
worked on this projedt," said Rockwell
Executive Vice President C. James Mee
cham. "They're all crying now. They're
crying with tears of joy." •
California Gov. Edmund G. Brown Jr.
said the flight would bring more space
ventures. "It's exciting. It's going to put
the focus once again on space. If we
make good use of this, it's going to be a
big step forward for our country and for
the entire world."

So'cin after the Parlittient, qnded, four,
guards were injured by three shells that slammed into a
guard post about 100 yards from the presidential palace,
about five miles east of the Parliament building, a
police spokesman said.
Assad was presiding over parliamentary committee
meetings in the Villa Mansour building, which is on the
3-mile Green Line dividing Beirut's Moslem and Chris
tian sectors, when shells started falling at 11 a.m. in the
courtyard and around the plush villa.
Bomb shrapnel tore through glass windows into the
conference hall, forcing ministers and legislators to
crawl to sanctuary in corridors, the rightist Voice of
Lebanon radio station reported.
At the request of President Elias Sarkis, the Syrian
peacekeeping command and the Lebanese army
mounted rescue operations from opposite sides of the
Green Line, the spokesman said.

"The barbarity of ETA has a single

the party said in a statement.
What was to become Spain's worst day
of political violence this year began on an
upbeat note with the release of Luis
Sunyer Sanchez, 71, Spain's version of
America's Col. Sanders, who was kidnap

ago.
Despite his age and captivity in a tiny

After waiting an hour after touchdown

another hour, Young and Crippen made a
15-minute appearance accompanied by

Young and Crippen again received a

,Quality sets candy costs
Even if you don't believe in the Easter
bunny, chances are, you've noticed the
rapid proliferation :of candy on store
counters as Easter approaches.
t• And if •you ever bought candy at a
bargain price only to discover when you
ii+got home that it tasted like malted sand
ii paper, don't despair I've got some
ri.candy-buying advice that'll get you safe
-,ly through the holiday season.
First, as this week's survey shows,
;;;good quality candy prices vary from
store to store. So,. through comparison
I'-shopping, you can afford to purchase
•:.candy that's really worth eating.
F But before •you hop on over to the
rill.fiearest drug store sale to corner this
year's chocolate bunny market, let me
-warn you that what you see isn't always
'what you get.
f: 4.; Despite similarities in appearance, the
bunnies sold locally vary quite a bit in the
' quality of their ingredients.
C Some candy rabbits, especially the
bargain-priced bunnies, are not made of
real chocolate.
• Instead, they contain milk chocolate
combined with a host of artificial ingre
dients that duplicate the taste of real
chocolate at less than half the cost.
Real milk chocolate, on the other hand,
c • always contains cocoa butter and choco
late liquor or other vegetable fat as its
basic ingredients. Cocoa beans are
roasted and pressed to yield a chocolate
liquor which forms the chocolate base.
Candy makers then add cocoa butter,
sugar, milk and an emulsifier to provide
smoothness. These ingredients, beaten
until smooth and homogeneous, form
milk chocolate.
It is easy to understand, then, why it
`takes longer and costs more to make real
chocolate, and why you should expect to
pay more for it than for an imitation
t product.
So if yodr heart is set on finding a

chocolate bargain, check the package
before you buy. If it says "chocolate
flavored," you're not buying real milk
chocolate.
Naturally, the price of chocolate in
creases proportionately with the quality
of chocolate it's made from.
But, fortunately for those of us who
love chocolate, it isn't necessary to buy
the absolute best quality chocolate to get
a good chocolate taste.
If you have ever bought what you
assumed was
.decent Easter candy only
to later discover how awful it tasted, you
can avoid repeating such a catastrophe
by purchasing a small sample of candy in
your favorite candy store.
Then, should you find the chocolate
tastes like sweetened mud or the jelly
beans feel like little rocks in your mouth,
you won't be stuck with a year's supply of
them.
Shopping at a candy store has other
advantages, too, especially if you're'
making an Easter basket for any of your
big or little friends. '
You can purchase small quantities of
lots of different candies, instead of buy
ing prepackaged candy and getting stuck
with, say, 10 pounds of lime jelly beans.
Needless to say, due to national public
ity, the popularity of jelly beans has
skyrocketed. If you want a taste of poli
tics, you ought to know that there is a
difference between "Reagan jellybeans"
and the kind most Easter bunnies distrib-

Reagan jellybeans are made of pectin,
a flavoring that gives them . a strong
fruity taste and makes them cost lots
more• than artificially flavored jelly
beans.
So, if you've ever gotten hungry watch
ing a presidential news conference on
television, you'll have to go to a candy
store to duplicate the exact taste of
national politics.
If you abhor the taste of chocolate,
don't feel you're stuck with the so-so
taste of a white-molded bunny. Believe it
or not, there are quality and taste differ
ences between brands of white candy.
First, all white rabbits are not made of
white chocolate.
Denise
Shane
Many are made of icecap, a sugary
confection similar to icing. Because ice
cap doesn't contain cocoa butter the
base of white chocolate it's cheaper to
make.
If you find an icecap bunny priced for
as much as • a white or milk chocolate
bunny, chances are you're getting ripped
off.
And, if you never liked the taste of
those awful white bunnies you had when
you, were little, try one again. You may
never have tasted white chocolate.
Don't let the rapidly rising costs of
chocolate bunnies make you hopping
mad, try purchasing your chocolate can
dy in chunk form instead of the cute
molded little figures. One store I checked
charged $1.60 more for a pound of choco
late in molded form than for the same
chocolate broken into chunks.
Even if naked hunks of chocolate don't
seem too festive, they sure cost less.
Shop wisely - you'll keep the Easter
bunny hopping.
