...Democratic Republican Party, called in Bob Dorsey, then Gulf president, who was visiting Korea. According to Dorsey, Kim "dived right into the matter and told me that we were doing exceedingly well out there and that basically, our continued prosperity depended on our coming up with a ten million [dollar] political contribution to the party." After much haggling, Gulf got away with a $3 million contribution...
...sample of the fraud is evident in Illinois, where the subcommittee staff estimates that one dollar out of every six spent by the Public Aid Department on health care is illegally siphoned off. Working with investigators from Chicago's Better Government Association, a citizens' watchdog agency, the subcommittee last December set up a clinic near ghetto areas on the city's North Side. To all appearances, the operation was indistinguishable from other "Medicaid mills" that have been hastily assembled to provide treatment for Chicago's poor and to collect payments from the federal and state governments...
...young Hayley Mills, nor hard-edged precocious, like Tatum O'Neal ("I think she is very good, but we are different characters"). She does not date, or attend Hollywood functions.

Probably there is no need for THE BIONIC WOMAN (ABC, Wednesday, 8 p.m. E.S.T.) either, unless you are a Six Million Dollar Man looking for a mate. But there is more wit inherent in the new show's conceit than there is in that of the original model: superhuman physical prowess is unexpected in a lass as comely as Lindsay Wagner. On the opening program, for example, Wagner, whose cover job is schoolteaching, delivered homilies on peace and cooperation while abstractedly tearing a telephone book in half. One hopes the show's writers will keep this spirit...
