...eleventh-hour stab at saving COLC, but the move was too weak and came much too late. In the past six months or so, COLC has got many firms and industries, including autos, rubber and aluminum, to sign agreements to exercise restraint in pricing in exchange for being freed from formal control. If COLC vanishes, those agreements will no longer be legally binding, and the companies can lift prices at will...
...lobbying for continuance of some kind of economic restraints, particularly on the construction industry and medical services.

Charles Bates, head of the FBI'S task force in the Hearst case, got a "seat-of-the-pants feeling" that Patricia might be freed last Wednesday, on her 20th birthday. Mother Catherine Hearst, who had been gently criticized by Patricia in one message for appearing on TV in somber black clothes, promised that she would don "a pretty dress" for her daughter's return. "They've asked me to make a gesture of sincerity, and that's what we've done," said...
