More than 100 amendments await the bill on the House floor. But what really got O'Neill worried was the fact that the House's code requires Congressmen to file financial disclosure statements with the House clerk by April 30. O'Neill was the first to issue a financial report, listing a net worth of $181,000 and describing himself as "a man of modest means." But other Representatives object to disclosing their personal finances, even though the need for a strong code was underscored last week by the sentencing of former Democratic Representative Richard Hanna...
...grateful were the relatives for Lance's help that LaBelle and Brother-in-Law Claude in April 1974 refurbished a cottage known as Eagle's Nest on the Lance farm as a gift to Bert. To pay for the work, Claude wrote $40,000 in checks on his already overdrawn Calhoun checking account...
...probably never know exactly what happened," says a U.S. Defense official of the forced landing of Korean Air Lines' wayward Flight 902 after it had blundered into Soviet airspace on the night of April 20. Indeed, the full story of how the errant Paris-to-Anchorage-to-Seoul polar flight came to be fired upon over the strategic Kola Peninsula will probably be known only to the Soviets.

But he could have bought a three-month option on IBM for $2 a share, or $200 for 100 shares. This would have given him the right to buy those shares at any time over the next three months for $260 a share. So if the price rose much above $260, he would turn a handsome profit. As it happened, IBM closed last week at $266, and option holders...
...stock price causes about a $1 rise in the value of the options. But that $1 rise is a far larger percentage gain for the options, since they cost much less than shares of stock. Thus profits made on options in recent weeks have been spectacular. Between Friday, April 7, and last Friday's close, IBM options jumped from $2 to $10.50, a 425% increase; General Electric's rose 475%, from 50? to $2.87; Kodak's jumped 470%, from...
