CHRIS NOLAN SENDS A LINK TO THIS WEDDING ANNOUNCEMENT from The New York Times and notes the first paragraph:

WHEN an armed band of American Muslim militants invaded several buildings in Washington on March 9, 1977, Diane Cole, then 24, became one of more than 100 hostages. The gunmen threatened to decapitate captives before she and the others were released 39 hours later.

Okay, I was in high school then, but I have absolutely no memory of this. Did it get much attention?
