...STUART MAGRUDER, 38, formerly deputy campaign director of C.R.P. A Californian who looks as if he could pose for old Arrow-shirt ads, Magruder was president of a small cosmetics firm before he entered politics. He was coordinator of Nixon's 1968 campaign in Los Angeles, went to Washington in 1969 as a special assistant to the President. He was a favorite of White House Chief of Staff H.R. Haldeman...
...India, New Delhi Correspondent James Shepherd interviewed one Jesuit while they both sat in the yoga lotus position on prayer mats. Others were clad in Indian robes, sandals, and sported swami beards. In Berkeley, TIME'S Lois Armstrong found that the priests could also adapt easily to the Californian way of life. For their weekly cocktail party at the Jesuit School of Theology, they donned sports shirts and slacks.

Fighting the new coastal requirements will be more difficult, though one Californian is making a spectacular try in court. Rudolph Esau, a partner in the Santa Barbara chrysanthemum-growing firm of Marina Mums Inc., explains that his plans to build greenhouses on his shoreline property are stymied by the new rules. "If we cannot develop our property," he reasons, "then our property is not worth anything to us." His class action therefore seeks full compensation from the state for all private-property owners up and down the coast: $509.1 billion worth of land. More realistic opponents are trying to control...
