...office had surveyed 900 employers in the Monterey Peninsula area; 81% of those who responded would not hire anyone with hair that was not neatly trimmed at neck and ear. Said James E. Hammond, director of the Monterey office: "We feel that if a man has shoulder-length hair and his type of work is such that it requires public contact and the employers will not hire him, he has voluntarily restricted his chances of finding work." Hence the longhair is not entitled to unemployment insurance. The state office in Sacramento is backing Hammond. Only 3% of the employers surveyed...
Mitchell finds Nixon using him as a sounding board in making key decisions of politics and program; Kissinger virtually monopolizes the President's ear on foreign policy. Mitchell and Kissinger are envied and resented for their unrivaled influence. The appointed palace guards, Haldeman and Ehrlichman, screen nearly every person admitted to the President's lair and practically every piece of paper that reaches his desk or briefcase. They stir enmity because, their antagonists argue, the pair shuts him off from access to uncongenial views and even from members of his Cabinet...
Atlantic River. All the same, SST defenders have still not offered convincing proposals for dealing with the supersonics' most pressing problem: ear-shattering "sideline" noise generated at takeoff and landing. According to one estimate, the airport roar of a single SST will match that of five jumbo jets. Proposed solutions to sideline noise and sonic boom have thus far been less than encouraging. Some scientists have proposed recycling jet engine exhausts to reduce noise. Others have suggested powerful electrostatic fields to ionize and brush aside air molecules before they can pile up and form boom-producing shock waves...
Police said that someone shot at them from the dormitory. Jack Hobbs, a television newsman for WJTV, said: "I heard what sounded like a shot. In a split second something zinged past my ear and ricocheted off a fence behind me." But Hobbs, facing the dormitory, nevertheless said he could not be sure that the shot came from there. Students deny that anyone among them fired, contending that police opened fire without warning...
...records. None of them, though, have demonstrated Woody's resiliency or adaptability. The style of his current group is a near-symphonic fusion of rock and the toe-tapping, old-gold sound that was the trademark of his earlier bands. Mixing updated versions of old Herman specialities with ear-blowing arrangements of such contemporary tunes as the Doors' Light My Fire and Jim Webb's Mac Arthur Park, the latest Herd has a rare ability to bridge pop music's generation gap. It is equally welcome at the hip Fillmore West and Manhattan's touristy...
