...been there. Humphrey, as it happened, had canceled his trip. Last week a picture was released of Bremer in Ottawa later in April in a crowd outside Parliament, while inside, President Nixon was appearing with Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau.

Evidently there was no ideological consistency to Bremer's obsession; he could have as easily taken a potshot at Nixon or Humphrey-or anybody...
...Lakers were not always known as strong finishers, even though they have been touted as potential N.B.A. champions ever since they settled in Los Angeles in 1960.

Nonetheless, the film has been kept alive by word of mouth spread by a burgeoning band of fierce partisans. Dennis Hopper had it screened at his home...
...smaller number of big companies have either moved to New York or announced their intention to do so, including Elgin Industries, U.M.C. Inc., Atlantic Richfield and Norton Simon Inc. The traffic in companies, though not in overall employment, is mostly outbound. One reason is New York's living costs, which are 9% higher than Chicago's, 18% more than Denver's and 26% steeper than Houston's. But says Leonard Yaseen, chairman of Fantus & Co., a corporate site-seeking adviser, "I don't think economics has much to do with it. The intangibles have...
