...Tomorrow in America is harder and more brisk, crackling with intelligence and a certain contempt for what he sees as the stupidities of American public policy. Ideologically, his book will probably be read by some as a callous, you-can't-make-an-omelette-without-breaking-eggs dia tribe against social planners, academics in public life and environmentalists. Among his dicta: "Adjustments that take the reward structure too far out of line with contributions produce economic decay . . . An entirely disproportionate share of medical attention goes to the chronic, hopeless ills of the aged at the expense of children...
...second list named Luis Guajardo as one of 59 exiled Chilean guerrillas who had clashed in a deadly shoot-out with Argentine police in the remote province of Salta. It appeared in Brazil in another justly obscure publication, a "newspaper" called O Dia. So far, no one has been able to locate the O Dia offices, and the Brazilian Press Association says it has never heard of the paper. Neither has anyone been able to confirm the spectacular shoot-out in Salta involving 59 supposed terrorists.

The stagehands keep it filled with real junk food - Oreos, Lorna Doones, the kind of crap that Wasp mothers keep on hand for kiddie snacks.

Singling out NBC Cameraman Jim Watt as the culprit, Knievel sprang at him and beat him to the ground with his $22,000 gold-and-dia-mond-headed walking stick. A crowd of bikers, kept behind a chain-link fence, roared their approval, and moments later stomped on a U.P.I, reporter and ground out a cigarette butt on his forehead. Enraged by the surly Knievel's unavailability for interviews, reporters joked about "holding...
...operates under the direction of the Secretary of Defense. Charged with assessing the worldwide military situation, the Defense Intelligence Agency coordinates the conflicting and not infrequently self-serving intelligence operations of the three armed services-Army's G2, Office of Naval Intelligence and Air Force's A2. DIA men tend to view CIA men as the spoiled darlings of the intelligence community. The CIA, which once dealt directly with military intelligence services, resents DIA'S role as middleman, and tends to look upon its members as minor-league spies...
