...swept the residue of the looting into the middle of the streets. Burned-out delivery trucks, spilling their seats onto the pavement, blocked doorways. Twisted steel grilles?some yanked from storefronts with trucks that were then filled with loot?lay across sidewalks. In the new Fedco supermarket, shelves gleamed bare and white, while several inches of mashed produce, packages of squashed hamburger, rivers of melted ice cream, and broken bottles covered the floors. The stench was overpowering. Up to 300 stores were cleaned out in the neighborhood, and the next morning sheets of plywood covered most of their smashed windows...
...Government's growing role in paying for medical treatment poses another problem. To process Medicare claims, two insurance companies were given access to the bare minimum of information in the Social Security Administration's records; the information-for instance, the person's birth date and the amount of the bill-was needed to verify claims.

...patrons too have changed. The new boogie bunch dress up for the occasion-with shoulders, backs, breasts and midriffs tending to be nearly bare. Outside of a few old-style "meat racks" -mostly homosexual hangouts-few disco freaks today turn out in jeans, shorts, T shirts or sandals. Designers like Halston make women's clothes just for dancing. "The dress becomes your dancing partner," he says, and Photographer Francesco Scavullo claims that the "young and exciting fashions in the discos are the only clothes today."
