"When he put his arm around my neck, his heart was against my back and it was beating very, very fast--and mine was beating very, very fast," Miss Bollinger said.

Psychologist Barbara Plis- kow had used the alias "Mrs. J. Johnson" in her unsuccessful attempt to hijack another plane from Detroit Sept. 24. An Eastern ticket agent had decided Dixon fit the psychological profile of a potential hijacker and was about to ask him for further identification when the man pulled the gun and went aboard the jet.
