...early retirement next year. Things aren't like they used to be." "Yeah," says Spirko. "We used to cabaret around with the coppers, play handball with them and everything. Hell, when I was working on the Dillinger case, I drove the goddam car on a raid of one of his hideouts, packed a .38 and everything. Those were the sweet days." And he deals out a hand of solitaire...
...Psychologist David Shapiro and Psycho-physiologist Bernard Tursky of Harvard Medical School. It was tried first on 40 people this spring. Not everyone was able to keep down with the beeps; one participant had a relapse after his wife, unaware that he had left his Bellboy in the car, drove off on a shopping trip. But of the original 40, including a telephone man who set up the beepers, 34 stuck it out until the system had cut them down to as few as four cigarettes a day. Some have even quit smoking altogether...
...thrill-seeking car driver whose appetite for concrete and asphalt has become jaded, modern technology provides a variety of alternatives.

But it might have made for less propaganda and better...
This summer's "year-end" clearance is more intense than usual. New car sales, though strong over the year, fell 12% below their 1968 pace in July and during the first ten days of August. General Motors sold 411,000 autos, off 17% from last year's level. Chrysler dropped 20%, from 166,000 to 132,000, and American Motors 12%, from 26,000 to 23,000. Only Ford bucked the trend, with sales of 251,000, up 2% over the comparable 1968 period. The industry's inventory of 1969 models increased substantially during July, to nearly...
