...years, and in crime-plagued Detroit it is up 12% over last year alone. But the most shocking statistics come from San Francisco, which has experienced a 700% increase in arson in five years. Says Lieut. James Mahoney, chief investigator for the San Francisco Fire Department: "Arson is the cheapest crime in the world to commit. All you need is a box of matches...
...round trip, the flights are the cheapest to wing over the Atlantic since the days of student and youth-fare discounts in the early 1970s. Freddie Laker, the British aviation innovator, finally got his New York-London Skytrain shuttle off the ground last week, after 6% years of bucking the world's established airlines and his own government through marathon rounds of regulatory hearings and court battles. A classic free enterpriser, Laker is convinced that he can make a profit by bringing transoceanic travel within the reach of almost anyone: backpacking youths, retired folks, modestly paid workers-especially those...
...seats. There were a lot of young people from everywhere-Colorado, Illinois, Tennessee, Georgia, Brazil, Canada. For the most part, they were budget-minded but not poor.

About a third of Soviet auto production is for export, largely in the form of a version of the Zhiguli named the Lada...
...cheapest shots at Lance was a report, spread across five front-page columns of the Chicago Tribune, that Lance had poured "millions" of his bank's funds into Continental Illinois National Bank in hopes of securing a personal loan; buried deep in the story was the fact that he finally got the loan from another Chicago bank, and not from Continental. Not to be outdone, the rival Sun-Times tried to make something of the fact that John Moore, who helped the Carter Administration vet potential appointees, including Lance, for possible conflicts of interest, happened...
