...last week they were enough to convince a Georgia magistrate that Wayne Bertram Williams, 23, should face a grand jury for possible indictment in the murder of Nathaniel Cater, 27, the most recent of the 28 young blacks found slain in Atlanta. Williams showed no emotion as Magistrate Albert Thompson read the decision upholding the arrest. Only later, as he was transferred back to his 6-ft. by 12-ft. isolation cell in Fulton County Jail, did the suspect comment: "This is ridiculous...

...innocence. They think children should be shielded from too much worldly knowledge too soon. Because the conservatives place so much emphasis on family and parenthood, they are ready to sacrifice adults' freedom of choice. There is a gruff, honest passion in many of their complaints. Says the Rev. Albert Gagnier of Brockton, Mass., a Moral Majority member and father of three: "I paid money for my TV set just like everybody else and I expect to get good programming out of it."

...made movie. Hollywood, once called the dream factory, is now in the recycling business. George Lucas compresses old movie serials into Star Wars and Raiders of the Lost Ark. Brian De Palma and a dozen other directors pay homage to (read: steal shamelessly from) the films of Alfred Hitchcock. Albert R. Broccoli is the same but different: Since Dr. No, the producer's first James Bond movie, in 1962, he has remade his own picture eleven times.
