...Fat Free. Fortas was asked to appear before the committee for still another grilling last week, but he declined. Convinced that they had done sufficient damage to torpedo Fortas, the opposition forces on the committee agreed to send the matter to the Senate floor this week. There it will run into trouble-and not only on the pornography issue. The skillful managers of the case against Fortas, notably Senator Griffin, saw to it that new revelations about the Associate Justice were brought out almost every day. More doubts were raised by a disclosure last week that Fortas had accepted...
...they have for centuries past. In the south, high-walled family compounds housing fierce Pathan tribesmen still stud the countryside. In the bleak mud houses of northern villages, young children often go blind weaving and knotting traditional Bukhara rugs. Nomad Kuchis seek fresh pasture land for their camels and fat-tailed sheep on the desolate plateaus, as chill winds whistle down from the snowy summits of the 600-mile-long range of the Hindu Kush...
...will be few and far between. "Why should you hold a rally for 15,000 or 20,000 people," says one top aide, "when with TV you can get the whole state?"

As befits Riklis' guiding philosophy-described as the art of buying companies with their own money-Glen Alden is paying for Schenley mostly with promissory paper. For each H Schenley shares, worth about $85 in the stock market, Schenley stockholders get $13 in cash; they also get a $100 debenture that pays 6% annual interest until its 1988 maturity. Riklis can thus...
...mood to ease their hunger pangs. Grocers and restaurant operators consistently refused to sell or give them anything, and farmers hid their stock. At one point, the underground radio gleefully announced that the average Russian tank crew's daily ration consisted of "six potatoes and some fat." It is small wonder that, after sitting down to that kind of mess, one trio of noncoms decided to raid a grove of apple trees near downtown Prague. Unfortunately for their appetites, the trees happened to be growing behind the U.S. embassy. The soldiers were chased off the grounds, like errant schoolboys...
