Last week fear was tangible in Cincinnati. The demand for tear-gas pens, door chains and bolts, pistols, pocket knives, karate instruction and watchdogs was unprecedented. One ad to sell three German shepherds brought 75 phone calls in two hours. Newspapers have run police-prepared instructions on how women should defend themselves by biting, kicking, screaming or scratching. A grocery chain imported 100,000 plastic whistles to give to its customers. Deliverymen have set up complex systems of passwords with hundreds of housewives who feel as if they are under siege...
...headwaiters across the country in a swither. Chicago's Maxim's and Manhattan's "21," for instance, maintain a rigid ban, while other top restaurants allow them, provided that the suits are sufficiently dressy. Beverly Hills Restaurateur Steven Crane (the SCAM, the Luau, plus a chain extending to seven other cities) recently called a summit meeting to set national policy. His guideline: if the whole party is sufficiently "cocktailly" or black tie, the pants suits get seated...

By last week, though, Copley was convinced that Advertiser Publisher Thurston Twigg-Smith, 45, and Editor George Chaplin, 52, who between them owned about 60% of the paper's stock, were not about to sell out. To them, the quick, large profit...
Goerner has succeeded, he says, where the U.S. Navy failed. Financed by CBS, the Scripps newspaper chain, the San Mateo (Calif.) Times and the Associated Press, he made four trips to the islands of the western Pacific to gather evidence of evildoing. In 1960, he returned from the Pacific with a bagful of airplane parts dredged out of Saipan harbor. These, he believed, were the remains of Earhart's twin-engined Lockheed Electra.* No such luck; the collection turned out to be parts from a Japanese plane. In 1964, Goerner got a flash of headlines by producing seven pounds...
