Whatever the calendar may say, for many business people the day after Labor Day marks the start of a new year - the end of the slow season, a time of fresh beginnings. But this new year opened with a disquieting week of turmoil. As nervous investors continued to convert cash into inflation-proof tangible assets, the price of gold shot up to a wallet-popping $341 an ounce before settling back at week's end to $329. The Dow Jones industrial average, which had been rising since July, plunged 15 points in one day, the largest decline since last...
Obscure fact often mixes with popular fancy, fuzzing up the truth and perpetuating legend. The old story of Thomas Jefferson's rumored love affair with a slave is opened for fresh examination in a new novel, Sally Hemings, by Barbara Chase-Riboud. The late Agatha Christie's brief, unexplained disappearance during her first marriage inspired a fictional explanation in the book and movie Agatha, which intensified speculation about the case and could stretch it out for years to come...

Boston School Committee President David Finnegan, the last in a trio of white Irish candidates, bills himself as the "fresh face" of the campaign. A lot of people on State Street thought that Finnegan might pull something off, if only because his name is not White or Timilty. But Finnegan is currently weighing in with about 10 or 15 per cent of the preliminary vote. His candidacy wasn't helped much, of course, by disclosures this summer that he was getting $20,000 a year as a lobbyist fot the tobacco industry. Finnegan believes in capital punishment (Why is capital...
...more boring than the 1970s. Or so one might conclude after surveying the network television schedules that will usher in the next decade. The new series of the 1979-80 season are a mostly flavorless assortment of retreads, spin-offs and ripoffs; there are no innovative programs and few fresh faces in sight. Though the past few years were not much better, they did at least offer such novel phenomena as Soap, Lifeline, Suzanne Somers and Robin Williams. The 1979-80 network lineup is so tame that it even lacks that saving spice of commercial television -triumphantly bad taste...
