...PAPERS INTERVIEWED the weeping parents of the victims, who blamed shoddy police work. They talked to his ex-wife, who divorced him after finding he "liked boys better." The reporting spread to other states. Authorities sought links to missing youths in Wisconsin, and the CBS-TV Chicago outlet ran a special report called "The House on Summerdale St." in which they stuck a microphone in the face of the Iowa judge who had presided when Gacy was convicted for sodomy several years ago. The judge was lying flat on his back in the hospital but the T.V. reporters were undeterred...
...Scottsdale, Ariz., where he was appearing in a play. Crane found success first as a dance-band and symphony drummer, then as a clowning disc jockey. In 1965 he abandoned a $150,000-a-year radio post on KNX in Los Angeles to risk acting in a new CBS-TV comedy series about American prisoners of war in a German concentration camp.

But lobbying for the draft has apparently gone on behind the scenes, taking the less obvious form of news documentaries, reports of "concerned citizens' groups," and the ever-present Pentagon predictions of an impending apocalypse. A recent CBS-TV documentary, for instance, focused on charges that the current all-volunteer army cannot find the crack troops needed to face any attack by the Soviet Union; the implication throughout the show was that the U.S. armed forces are not now in "a proper state of readiness," and may never...
...second day, a full-scale revolt was on. David Lamb of the Los Angeles Times excused himself during lunch and never rejoined the tour. Randy Daniels of CBS-TV staged a loud argument with an official and the guards in the hotel lobby, while his film crew slipped out the back way to shoot pictures of their own choice. Others left the hotel before the guards were awake. By midweek about half of the Western reporters had disengaged themselves from the official program and were scurrying around interviewing or taking pictures of bodies sprawled on the sidewalks-victims...
