...Rachel Fitler, 77, Philadelphia heiress and aunt of Happy Rockefeller, employee-employer relations are obviously something special. Last month Filler's engagement to her former chauffeur, 29-year-old Michael Wilson, was announced. Now comes word from an earlier Filler employee, ex-Chauffeur Hans von Aczel, 38, that he had been a Fitler fiance last year. "She asked me to marry her," claims von Aczel. "I'm not going to lie. I would have liked to live that kind of life." Aczel says he was promised $3,000 a month for pocket money, which would have...
Rockefeller seemed to be a chief contender for the 1964 nomination-until he handed the conservatives the ammunition they needed.

Dreamed up by Executive Producer Lewis Freedman, the series will describe bits of American history, data and errata, the momentous and the obscure.

Indeed, as little as two tanks of leaded gas will "poison" a converter; to replace it could cost the motorist up to $150. So automakers will equip their 1975 models with smaller-than-usual filler pipes leading into the gas tanks. Conventional gasoline nozzles will not fit into them; only special, smaller nozzles used to dispense unleaded gas will go inside...
...rest of the movie. During the narrative they replayed the best action bits for each other to make sure they'd got it, and fidgeted. And the investors are lucky that nobody studies the rest of the movie. Because there is nothing to it--it is all mindless filler, padding to launch the action. The movie's high is in the special effects that ran up the movie's budget from 4 to 10 million dollars as Friedkin kept mashing up more vomit effects into his vomit movie. He must have gotten carried away, which is lucky for the investors...
