Police believe that some of the new roving packs may be directed by Fagin-style adults. They are looking into the possibility that one or two masterminds are behind as many as 60 jewelry-store robberies in Washington, Arizona, California, Nevada and Oregon. In other cases, the gangs strike a bit closer to home, acting on impulse. Says Commander Lorne Kramer of the Los Angeles Police Department: "They follow the money. Whoever's around will pile into cars and head off in search of victims...
...that our criticism of Mark Reader, a political science professor at Arizona State University, was "trivial" and that he "is accused of taking too strong a stance against nuclear war."

It issued a lengthy report on Reader, which pointed out that he was spending a great deal of time in a course supposed to be devoted to political ideologies talking about his fears of all things nuclear, including the peaceful uses of nuclear energy.

"You either obey laws or you don't," he says. "The Bible tells you to obey laws...
...with prices at the pump dipping below 700 per gal., the economic incentive for a 55-m.p.h. limit is fading. In the West, state governments are joining individual drivers in rebelling against Washington's go-slow edict. Arizona, South Dakota and Nebraska have reduced fines for exceeding the speed limit to as little as $10. Those states, as well as North Dakota, Minnesota and Nevada, have passed laws eliminating penalty points for some speeding infractions. California has discussed raising the speed limit to 65 m.p.h. on highways in less populated areas...
