...Cheers for your exposure of the evil operations of the Cosa Nostra [Aug. 22], particularly drug traffic. As a former narcotics court news reporter in Chicago, I can tell you that educated estimates attribute 50% to 80% of all crime to narcotics. It is a cruel form of slavery, and those addicted to heroin can seldom afford it without resorting to crime...
...quickly summoned newsmen to pointedly announce that "a blond, freckled man dressed in khaki, who did not appear to be a Palestinian," had been seen fleeing from the mosque just before the fire. That was all the information that Arab propagandists needed. Cairo Radio called the fire a "premeditated crime." Al-Fatah, the Palestinian Arab commando organization, demanded shrilly in its broadcasts: "Moslems, what are you waiting for? The Zionists are burning down your sacred shrines. How can you face the Prophet Mohammed?" Jordan's King Hussein, whose grandfather King Abdullah was assassinated by a Palestinian Arab gunman...
...sadder one. Anyone who remembers Arlo Guthrie's rambling, hilarious talking-blues record of a couple of seasons back will probably be surprised by this movie version. All the favorite, funny episodes are still there: the garbage dumping after Thanksgiving dinner, the cops investigating "the scene of the crime" and taking "twenty-seven 8-by-10, colored glossy photographs with circles and arrows," and the Army induction with its "injections, inspections, detections, neglections."

Vidal insists that "I am not an evangelist of anything in sexual matters except a decent withdrawal of the state from the bedroom." He calls Buckley one of those "morbid, twisted men" who are always "sniggering and giggling and speculating on the sexual lives of others...
...While employed as an office manager for a Colorado company that services oil wells, James Stryker embezzled more than $280,000 from the firm. His wife knew nothing about the crime until Stryker committed suicide ten days after the company accused him of the theft. Even so, the U.S. Tax Court has just ordered Mrs. Stryker, who has since remarried, to pay more than $80,000 in back taxes on the embezzled funds. Stryker had not reported any of the income on the couple's joint tax returns. But under the Internal Revenue Code, declared the court, a woman...
