...room is small, but clean. Considering Lincoln Center only pays $54.00 a week, this is a nice place to live. There is a bed, a chair, and a bureau--the bureau graced with an artificial daisy placed in a real flower pot. Also on the bureau are hairspray and perfume bottles, 3 bottles of pills, a bottle of nail polish, a container of Finast black pepper, and a large cylinder of Diamond Crystal salt. There's also a blue china dinner plate with a snapshot of a baby on it. As I'm looking at it, Lary Ann returns...

...people of Pasadena, Texas, a modest industrial suburb of Houston, Dean Allen Corll was a clean-cut, quiet neighbor who kept pretty much to himself. He seemed to be a "nice, polite man who loved to be around kids," one acquaintance recalled. Last week stunned residents of Pasadena had a different view of the 33-year-old bachelor electrician who had been their neighbor since June. After an all-night party in Corll's two-bedroom frame cottage, he was shot to death with his own gun by 17-year-old Elmer Wayne Henley...

In his autobiography, Me and the Spitter, to be published next year, Perry said that first spitball led him through "the mudball, the emery ball, the K-Y ball, the Vaselineball and the sweatball, to name a few. During the next eight years, I tried...

...first show, Quinn followed a report on child labor among migrant workers with this comment: "I can remember when my mother and father wanted me to clean my room-I thought that was child labor." After a segment about Chesapeake Bay's contaminated clams, she recalled covering a crab derby in Maryland. As the week went on Quinn lapsed less frequently into such limpness; she laughed more easily and appeared to gain confidence. Future weeks may bring further improvement.

...their Mousehouse, a suburban garage. Between discussions they looked at one another's pets and prepared for their next show-assuming of course that they have anything left to show. (The ideal mouse, according to Mouse Club guidelines, must be "long and slim in body, with a long, clean head, neither square nor too pointed at the nose. The eyes should be large, bold and prominent; the ears large, free from creases, carried erect and set wide apart.") The strategy-quiet diplomacy, rather than noisy, ratlike demonstrations-paid off.
