...Russell Long (D-La.). President Carter's welfare program is being chewed on--and by and large spit out--by that committee. His tax package won't even be submitted until next year because of fear of the same treatment. His proposed use of general revenue funds to bail out an ailing and tax-regressive social security system was doomed from the start, thanks in large measure to Long. As for Carter's energy proposals, Long played a major role in gutting them in the Senate. Long probably will do the same in the four-week-old House-Senate conference...
...allegedly stormy relationship with his mother was named as the motive. Connery goes beyond outlining the skeletal facts of the case, focusing on how Falls Village reacted to the case. Two families--one Jewish and the other Italian--virtually adopted Reilly after the murder, mortgaging their homes to provide bail money and hiring him to babysit for their children in order to demonstrate their confidence in his innocence...

Most celebrated may be Klaus Croissant, 47, Baader's attorney, who is believed to have carried messages from gang members inside prison to those outside. Arrested last July, Croissant jumped bail and fled to France, where, after nearly three months underground, he was caught by police in late September. He now faces possible extradition to West Germany...
...lost a total of $90,000 in 1975 and 1976, and he expects to be a loser again this year. "I have the best crop I ever raised," he laments, "and it's going to cost me $15,000." Only an upsurge in prices or federal subsidies can bail him out, a plight all too typical of thousands of small farmers throughout the country...
