We are a tourist area, and Erie's beaches and boating facilities are open, and have been open for many years. Last year more than three and one-half million people visited Erie's Presque Isle State Park. Sixty lifeguards man eleven beaches on the park. These beaches are tested weekly by the state...

"Modern man seems to believe that he can get everything he needs from the corner drugstore," says the explorer.

Budge has his defenders. They point out that the SEC staff has continued to press stern disciplinary actions against brokers suspected of manipulations. The SEC has also been prodding brokerage houses to clean up the continuing paperwork mess in back offices. On the major issue of overhauling commission rates, however, Budge has left it to the stock exchanges to develop detailed proposals.
