Atlanta has requested but not received state funds for its four-quarter project. As a result, it is paying more than $1,000,000 beyond its regular $71 million school budget for the summer quarter. School officials maintain nonetheless that the city's fast-growing industries-and thus the city itself-will benefit financially when vacations are spread more evenly over the entire year. Until this year, most working parents took vacations in the summer, when their children were out of school, resulting in summertime business slowdowns and production losses. Another advantage of the summer quarter lies in providing...
...looming figure of contained violence waiting for a place to let loose. "I was in a saloon once where a guy shot all the way down a bar," he once complained to a director during a western fight scene. "And I wanna tell you, those extras aren't moving fast enough."

Using $132 million in state and federal money, the agency set out two years ago to re-equip the line with 620 fast, air-conditioned Budd Co. cars. Deliveries, which began last fall, have lagged 25 weeks behind schedule, and the cars have developed many bugs. Every day, more than half of the 94 cars accepted so far have been out of service because of mechanical breakdowns. The flashy Budd cars that do run have become prime targets for rock-throwing...
