...plagues of hungry insects, through dust storms and snowstorms, despite rampaging long-horn herds and quick-trigger cowprods. By 1882 he had harvested a fortune of $300,000, and raised two spunky sons. But black-tempered John Cozad was too powerful for his own good-and power tends to corrupt those who lack, as well as those who wield it. Settler jealousy festered into hatred. When Cozad, in patent self-defense, gunned down a knife-flashing enemy, he had to skip town to avoid a lynching...
...even as they are fighting, the networks are facing up to the probability that they will lose. In a statement implying that pay TV would corrupt the public interest for selfish purposes, CBS President Frank Stanton has nevertheless assured stockholders that if the worst happened, CBS is prepared to take the pay way too.

Edited Disk. Tough, trenchant and tenacious, Arsenio Lacson reminds many Americans of Manhattan's rambunctious Fiorello La Guardia, who also served three terms. Like La Guardia, Lacson cleaned up a corrupt administration and a wide-open city; he fired 600 incompetent job holders. Night after night, Lacson patrols Manila in a black police car, returns from time to time to a corner table at the Bay View or Filipinas hotels, where he listens to complaints and requests, or talks profusely on a plugged-in telephone, punctuating his conversations with shots of whisky and four-letter expletives.
