...Sadat as a traitor and put a price on his head. A so-called summit of Arab "steadfast states" in Tripoli, convoked by Libya's Muammar Gaddafi, froze relations with Egypt. Calling their bluff?without Egypt defending the southern front, another Arab war against Israel would be a hopeless enterprise???Sadat broke off relations with Syria, Libya, Algeria, Iraq and South Yemen. His critics, said Sadat, were "dwarfs...
There was some fast free enterprise???and some gouging. At a fancy East Side high-rise apartment building one block from Gracie Mansion, the mayor's residence, two boys with flashlights offered to escort people up the stairs at $1 each. Some cabbies cruised with their off-duty lights on, trying to negotiate high-priced deals, charging as much as $50 for the trip from Shea Stadium to Manhattan, which normally costs about $10.

Hefner also bought rights to the famed nude calendar pictures of Marilyn Monroe, then at the height of her career, and published them for the first time off a calendar. The 48-page issue sold 53,991 copies; even Hef was surprised...
...schools for girls and boys, a college of preachers, the Bishop's house and garden. All of the 67½-acre wooded hill is to be enclosed by a wall with gates dedicated to the twelve Apostles. Ultimately it will represent perhaps $40,000,000 worth of pious enterprise???what Bishop Freeman calls a "powerhouse of religious energy." Of the more than $12,000,000 the Cathedral Foundation lists as assets, $7,000,000 has been raised since Bishop Freeman took office the autumn...
