...Franciscans have endured two municipal employees' strikes in the past two years (the most recent was a three-day-long police and firemen's walkout last August), and were ready to cope. Traffic on the Golden Gate Bridge was tied up for extended rush hours but never hopelessly snarled. Some 500,000 regular users of city transportation (including thousands of schoolchildren) had to find another way to get to their destinations. Most hiked or biked uncomplainingly up the city's hills. But more than a third of the student body was absent because some school-bus service...
...lawsuits. Bill Veeck sits in his Chicago office, looking at the 15-in. file drawer on his desk that contains some 1,500 promotional ideas, pondering which one to spring on his White Sox followers next. It is no wonder he expects more than a million paid through his gates this year. Milwaukee Brewer Boss Bud Selig, 41, comes right out and calls baseball show biz. His competition? Not other sports, but "movies, the circus, rock concerts." His market? Youth. A 1975 survey showed that the average age of Brewer fans is 25; the young have discovered that the game...

During a recent lull in Lebanon's civil war, a medical team entered Beirut and set up an emergency clinic in an isolated Moslem enclave which had been blockaded for nine months. In Guatemala last February, the ground was still trembling when a special task force of doctors arrived to care for victims of that country's disastrous earthquake...
Reagan's hang-on insistence was all the more puzzling because of his lackadaisical campaigning style in Illinois. Reported TIME Midwest Bureau Chief Ben Gate: "He wasted hours of valuable time going from one obscure town to another by motorcade. He sometimes slipped into motels and hotels through back doors, then begged off working the crowds waiting outside with a lame excuse: Tm sorry, but I'm running behind schedule.' He did not go after the suburban straphangers until it was too late. By contrast, Ford worked the fences and the police barricades as if he were...
