Figuring Damages. Though it is still unclear just how the damages against Nixon and his co-defendants will be computed-the judge left that to a later hearing-Halperin's lawyers want it figured according to the formula now in the federal wiretap law: $100 per day per victim, which for the five Halperins for 630 days would add up to $315,000 against each of the three defendants...
...million tons in 1975. But achieving that goal will require some kind of compromise strip-mining legislation that would satisfy environmentalists (who fear that large-scale mining in the Western states would permanently deface the land and cause widespread erosion) without discouraging investment by the coal companies-a formula exceedingly difficult to devise. Moreover, scores of new mines will have to be opened in the East. To avoid health hazards, effective scrubbers-devices that remove dangerous sulfur fumes from the stack gases of coal-burning plants-must be perfected and other means found to treat high-sulfur coal. All that...
Even when they try, networks find it hard to alter their half-hour formula. This probably explains why Barbara Walters at ABC has justified neither the fears nor the hopes for her million-dollar presence.

It is as interviewer and not as minstrel that ABC has tried to use her. The interview format, it turns out, does not particularly enhance a headline service. There sit Barbara and Harry Reasoner...
Creative Art. Is this not a situation almost inevitably leading to Communist entry into the government? Andreotti does not believe Italy's present governing formula makes that "either easier or more difficult." As for the future, the entire political reality may change, he says.

If the Communists were to join the broad democratic left of the European Parliament after that new body's first popular election in 1978, Andreotti says, this could create a "berthing place" for their...
...where customers will go to find one item, then linger to buy others. That takes design, and one man with the kind of designing eye that merchants appreciate is a 36-year-old architect-artist named Kenneth Walker. He is something of an iconoclast, merrily discarding what he calls "formula work-all those fancy chandeliers and moldings" in favor of fresher approaches...
