Justice officials claim that more than 3,000 convictions have been obtained as a result of the program. And according to Graham, only seven of 2,000 witnesses have been killed-in each case because they refused to follow instructions from U.S. marshals. But Congress was not specifically informed until 1974 about the false-identity aspects of the scheme and thus never got to ask any questions about its legal or moral ramifications. One question suggested by Graham: "Should the Government officially adopt a program dedicated to telling lies?" Another, clearly, is how the courts should cope with the problem...
...theme will be beaten to a hasty death, which seems inevitable (and desirable) since Hollywood will only risk money on a proven formula; witness the endless sequels to witless movies that bring in the bucks. Benson will probably come up with Son of One on One next year and follow that with One on One Meets Godzilla, or something equally inane...
Another woman claimed she didn't know where she was politically. A black man from Michigan said, "I follow the same politics as may parents do--don't most people? I'm a Democrat."

In the first week of the new season, NBC will present the first of six Laugh-In specials; in the weeks that follow, there will be a four-bout evening of heavyweight boxing, a Doonesbury cartoon special and The Godfather Saga, a nine-hour, four-night extravaganza combining both movies and some outtake footage too. ABC plans a Star Wars show based on the making of the movie, while CBS is preparing...
Less visible than the cymbal-clanging Hare Krishnas, the 3HO disciples rival them in devotion. Men and women alike follow the Sikh traditions of not cutting their hair and bearing symbolic daggers, combs and bracelets. Ashram members rise at 3:30 a.m. to practice yoga and meditate, sometimes while staring at a picture of Bhajan. They often work twelve hours a day on low salaries and skimpy diets at 3HO small businesses, such as landscaping companies, shoe stores, and quality vegetarian restaurants. Full-fledged initiates follow Bhajan's every dictum on diet, medical nostrums, child rearing, even orders...
