Violence flared anew last week on the Pine Ridge reservation of the Oglala Sioux in South Dakota. It was there in 1973 that militant Indians occupied the town of Wounded Knee for two months and two Indians were killed.

...five of its voting members are appointed by the Governor and four by the mayor, the corporation will inject the state government into city affairs. Big Mac will receive regular reports on the city budget so as to be able to sound the alarm if the city turns profligate anew.

Now, after three failed marriages (including one to Actress Ali MacGraw) and a string of box office successes (Godfather I and II, Chinatown, Rosemary's Baby, Love Story), Evans is abdicating his Paramount throne. This week Evans, 44, begins anew as an independent producer under contract to Paramount, responsible for up to 24 new films over the next six years. Among his projects: a sequel to Chinatown and a remake of the 1946 classic, Notorious. Evans' decision to quit as production chief may be due in part...
