...quoting from his research "so as to create the impression that Bromhall was cooperating or in some way had helped and was vouching for the accuracy and credibility of the book." His suit, filed in U.S. district court in Philadelphia (Lippincott's headquarters), makes a further, and novel demand; it seeks a court order forcing the author and publisher to admit that the book is "a fraud and a hoax" and that "no cloned boy exists...
...fares. President Carter is determined to promote vigorous competition among the airlines, and the Civil Aeronautics Board is approving just about every low-fare proposal. The consequence: passenger travel has risen an unexpected 17% this year. Caught by surprise, the airlines often do not have enough seats to meet demand...
...theory it all sounds neat, but in practice dozens of factors can throw off Federal Reserve calculations.

Local news operations, once money-losing public service efforts, have become universally profitable; at many stations news is the most important source of income. Now anchors and their agents routinely play one station against another at contract-renewal time, and the stations pay up willingly...
