...rioters, sent them fleeing. SATURDAY By midday, the number of Guardsmen patrolling the area had swelled to 4,000 and 700 more were being flown in from Fresno. They set about "sweeping" three separate zones totaling 40 blocks; the largest was a section of Watts bounded by Century Boulevard, Central Avenue, Compton Avenue, and 103rd and 104th Streets. Forming a skirmish line that extended across a street from sidewalk to sidewalk, and carrying M-l and M-14 rifles with drawn bayonets, the Guardsmen stalked abreast down the street while police and deputy sheriffs followed them, arresting anyone...
...Boulevard. In his four months on the job, Ceausescu has also provided liberation of sorts to Rumanian life.

Also carried away in the hillside slide were a neighbor's $100,000 clifftop mansion, a psychiatrist's $75,000 eyrie, and about half of a $1,000,000, three-year-old apartment complex below them. One of the few residents who refused to evacuate the area was Mrs. Clara Bartlett-she lost only the patio of her $150,000 home...
Compulsive Telephones The urgent, flexible world of Norton Simon revolves around a seven-day work week during which he spends some days in his study at home, others alone in an isolated office that he keeps on Los Angeles' Wilshire Boulevard, still others at an office in his Fullerton head quarters, a glass, stone and aluminum building designed for Hunt by Architect William Pereira. On weekends he and his wife frequently move north to a sprawling house by the Pacific Ocean at Lido Isle, and at least one week a month Simon travels to the East Coast to attend board...
