...invention was also unwisely financed. By buying land outright (with money acquired from selling Government-backed bonds) and by building facilities before they were needed, developers saddled themselves with high fixed interest costs long before sales and rental income started flowing. In Park Forest South, for example, land costs were 89% higher than expected, while sales for the first five years were 58% lower than expected. Developers of seven HUD-financed new towns eventually defaulted on interest payments, leaving the agency to pay bondholders $149 million and take title to the bankrupt burgs...
...doubt that he knew how to rustle Maid Marian's bustle and no one could accuse his progeny of lacking cojones--witness Sean Flynn's disappearing into the Cambodian jungle with a moped, a Nikon in his quiver, a few cigarettes and a flawless jawline. Not unlike Operation Sherwood Forest in 1936 color. Infra dig, Mr. Eastman! Love...
Residents of Lüttringshausen, a suburb of Dortmund, West Germany, were startled early last week by the sound of gunshots issuing from a dense forest only 200 yds. from a crowded autobahn. Police investigating the reports surprised two men and a woman blazing away with pistols at a newspaper pinned to a tree.

In the 18 years since, sales of the Pittsburgh conglomerate (chemicals, metals and forest products) have almost quintupled to well over $ 1 billion, and Byrom, by cheerfully delegating authority, can now spend half of his 16-hour days spreading his eclectic messages to bureaucrats, business people, reverend clergy and irreverent students. He draws his ideas from many intellectuals- a catholic collection that includes Social Activist Saul Alinsky, Semanticist Senator S.I. Hayakawa, Anthropologist Margaret Mead. Byrom always argues that people have to break down...
After five more hours on the road--we had split up to travel faster--I began to look forward to this gathering immensely, so when I got to Roseburg, Oregon (where you turn east into the Umpqa National Forest to get to White Horse Meadow, my destination) I began to look forward to food, a good sleep, some music and comfort. Roseburg was crawling with hitchhikers, all heading where I was, to this great Sixties type rock concert. Woodstock, here I come. A VW van slowed down, picked me up, and then took another hitcher, and another, and we headed...
