...dramas get the treatment with "Police Comic," a one-minute bit in which a stand-up joking cop makes the bad guy give up with one joke. Weak? You should hear the joke. The new ethnic sitcoms are covered with "Ramon and Sonja," where a typical gypsy family, a cab-driver, two whores and a "faggot" (I'd like a peanut for every time that word is used; I could run for president) live together in disharmony and squalor. Mother whore to father: Our son would never harm a fly. Daughter: Yeah, unless it was open. Really, I've heard...
Married. The Rev. James E. Groppi, 45, activist Roman Catholic priest who marched for civil rights in the 1960s, against the Viet Nam War in the early 1970s, and later drove a Yellow Cab in Milwaukee to finance his studies at Antioch's Law School; and Margaret Rozga, 30, lecturer and doctoral student in English literature at the University of Wisconsin in Milwaukee; in a civil ceremony in Las Vegas on April 22. Father Groppi is now excommunicated and banned from performing priestly functions. If the Vatican should give him permission to become a layman, the decree of excommunication...

Who knows? Maybe it'll rain, or a baby will...
...last November to set the salaries of certain city employees, including craft workers, at rates comparable to pay for similar jobs in other California cities-not, as in the past, to wages paid in private industry. To add to San Francisco's misery, drivers for Yellow Cab, the city's largest fleet, were also on strike for a while. By week's end, however, their walkout was settled, slightly easing the transportation scarcity...
Other owners have been complaining for years about Veeck's undignified approach to the game, while busily adopting his zany promotional stunts. It was he who first dotted the baseball calendar with Bat Days, Ladies Days, Bartender Days, Cab Driver Days, Gourmet Days, and Name's the Same Days (everyone with the same name as a member of the team gets in for free). He was the first to install an explosive Scoreboard, stage milking contests and have mock invasions from outer space. His most memorable stunt was sending a midget to pinch hit for St. Louis wearing...
