State officials last week reported that crime was down 8.1% for the first quarter of 1981, compared with the same period in 1980, but the dip hardly dents the growth of the problem in recent years. Admits Deputy Chief of Police Harold Falk Jr.: "Honolulu is no longer some isolated South Sea paradise. We suffer the same problems as big cities on the mainland...
...calls during the week to Congressmen and others to lobby for their support of his economic program. Assisted by Speechwriter Ken Khachigian, he began drafting the address he will deliver this week to a joint session of Congress.

It's a good Maine road--frost heaves, of course--and it could be almost any place in the Pine Tree State. It could run just out of sight of the ocean up past Damariscotta and Pemaquid. It could run through potato country in Arostook. It could be bordered by blueberry...
Wall Street economists generally feel that business looks much stronger now than a few months ago. Gary Wenglowski, director of economic research for the investment banking firm Goldman Sachs, previously predicted that the economy would dip in the first half of 1981. But now he foresees a "less severe slowdown that will not be deep enough or long enough to call a recession."
