...CHAOTIC predicament of municipal and state government financing is rapidly renovating the texture of domestic politics. Reactions such as California's Proposition 13 appear as exceptional warning flares generated by primitive but widespread discontent over government services and their costs. But behind these exceptional outbursts, political and economic realignments are redefining the dynamics of the state's budget growth...
...nearly two years of sometimes chaotic operations, the House Select Committee on Assassinations has shed little new light on the murders of John F.

Master Pianists Chick Corea, 37, and Herbie Hancock, 38, were into "fusion" music, a blending of jazz with rock's electronic sound. A tribute to the Latin influence on jazz starred the formidable massed bands of Tito Puente and Machito. There was even a special last-minute entry: Irakere, a jazz-rock Cuban group whose members had been...
