...remarkable thing in Greenfield, Iowa, on this Fourth of July is that so many of the residents have their personal stories to support their concerns. Four policemen in town do the job that two used to do. Neither the population nor the incidence of crime has increased more than a fraction. A nearby hamlet was adequately supplied with two special education teachers, but there were funds left over so they hired a third teacher to sop up the surplus. A member of a state review board attended a meeting where he and the others were warned that their appropriation...
Actually, he is a mechanic who services tractors sold by International Harvester to the U.S.S.R. The charge against him was that he had "systematically sold to individual Soviet citizens large amounts of foreign currency at speculative prices," a crime punishable by up to eight years in prison. His arrest stirred concern among some U.S. executives that doing business with the U.S.S.R. might become risky...
...this efficiency is not less litigation or less crime, but a tight rein on dilatory lawyers through strict scheduling and the establishment of procedures to cut out unessential steps. Sometimes hearing the appeal itself is unnecessary.

Forced to leave their $425-a-month apartment in Los Angeles' Marina del Rey, they fought the eviction in municipal court and lost. Now they live in a condominium at roughly twice the cost of their old apartment...
This documentary on teen-age crime, a segment in the "ABC News Closeup" series, may be the most disturbing and dramatic news program ever seen on American commercial television. It is certainly the most explicit. The network recommends "parental discretion" in the opening credits, and as the show unfolds, that cliche takes on new meaning. There is graphic violence, to be sure: bloodied heads; a lone youth being attacked by three others, one of them swinging a baseball bat; an unflinching look at a junkie mainlining. And the street toughs and ghetto dwellers who provide the sole narration converse...
