...darkened street outside a warehouse at a coffee counter. Third refill costs a nickel. He wanders into a warehouse, following a noise. Through dark passageways of pipes and crate to an open space. It is a street fight, two sleek men clutching bills and taking bets, two bare-chested bruisers facing each other, brown ill-fitting suits and anxious Depression faces crowded around the bare floor that serves as a ring. The bets are in, the bruisers battle: it's no holds barred-kicking, hair-pulling, and annihilating past the point of all reason; just don't kick...
Unless Richard Nixon decides to bare all in his memoirs, some of Watergate's few lingering mysteries seem destined to remain unresolved.

Everyone agrees that the price must be permitted to rise-but how much...
...meantime, correspondents sought out the sources whose information helps add an extra dimension to a bare news story. In San Francisco, Bureau Chief Joseph Boyce attended the press conference where FBI Agent Charles Bates announced the capture of Patty Hearst, later talked with members and friends of the Hearst family and also coordinated bureau coverage. Correspondent John Austin visited the scenes where the arrests were made and also filed a running chronology of events. Stringer Paul Ciotti maintained an almost constant vigil on the street near the scene of the arrests. Los Angeles Bureau Chief Jess Cook grabbed a plane...
