...long-running comedy series Hogan's Heroes; of repeated blows to the head by an unknown assailant in his hotel room; in Scottsdale, Ariz., where he was appearing in a play. Crane found success first as a dance-band and symphony drummer, then as a clowning disc jockey. In 1965 he abandoned a $150,000-a-year radio post on KNX in Los Angeles to risk acting in a new CBS-TV comedy series about American prisoners of war in a German concentration camp. The show was an unexpected smash, and Crane, as the P.O.W.s' brash, resourceful ringleader...
Beneath a small honeycombed disc on the front of the camera is a thin, gold-coated plastic foil diaphragm that acts as both transmitter and receiver of sound. The diaphragm emits a millisecond "chirp" that bounces back from the object aimed at and, in a series of steps that take a fraction of a second, fixes the lens at the precise focus, from 10 in. to infinity. Not an accessory, the device is an integral part of the camera, which will go on sale late this year. List price: about $280, v. $233 for the regular SX-70, which produces...
...Beatles performed, and the Plaza Hotel, where they stayed. Sometimes it is all too obvious that the film was really shot in Hollywood, but there are many details that are just right.

The Beatles themselves appear only as ghosts: on record jackets, in silhouette, in newsreel footage and, naturally, via their old song hits on the sound...
Laboratories throughout the West and Midwest, the regions where most Mexican grass is consumed, reported they were overwhelmed with requests to test marijuana samples. In Los Angeles, Disc Jockey Jim Ladd urged members of his post-midnight audience to telephone President Carter with their complaints about paraquat; within an hour, almost a thousand Southern California calls flooded into the White House. More than 5,000 marijuana samples were mailed to PharmChem laboratories in Palo Alto, Calif., where 22 new employees have been hired to keep up with the testing demand; last week the lab reported traces of paraquat...
...member of the Cabinet who tries harder to avoid poisonous disputes over minor matters. He doesn't indulge in backbiting, and he won't tolerate adults with graduate degrees behaving like children fighting over a toy." Yet there is steel in Vance's chronically ailing back. (A ruptured disc has bothered him ever since 1966, forcing an operation in 1967 and requiring him to wear a body cast for a time. His back has grown less troublesome, although he eases it at times by relaxing in a rocking chair in his office.) Adds Mondale: "He'll fight on principle...
