...other-is known as Consolidated Cash Assistance with Jobs. It would cover almost 34 million people who now get some form of federal public assistance, although drastically changing the way the help would be given. The proposal would continue some federal programs, such as child nutrition and old age assistance. But it would kill others, including food stamps and Aid for Families with Dependent Children. The plan would also simplify the intricate "means tests" now used to determine who is qualified for welfare...

One articulate testimonial to the surgeon's skill is Buck Buchwach, the Honolulu Advertiser's executive editor, whose case has drawn much attention to the advanced state of surgery in Hawaii. "Bucky" had had two heart attacks, the first at age 37, and a two-bypass graft at a famous U.S. mainland center. Results were unsatisfactory.

Perhaps through the innate temperament of its teen-age star, Andrea McArdle, an aridity of mood pervades Annie. There is no suggestion of a waif in this 14-year-old, who keeps any warmth or vulnerability on a very tight leash. And what, after all, is the strong. affectionate bond between Annie and her dog Sandy except that both are waifs and strays...
