...Lewis Regenstein, 35, and his wife, Janice Mendenhall, 32, live in Washington in a $131,500 four-bedroom townhouse bought 18 months ago. He earns $20,000 as vice president for the Fund for Animals, and she gets $47,500 as director of administration for the General Services Administration. They do not think that they live ostentatiously and often wonder where the money goes. They eat out three times a week, share a summer house and own a nine-year-old TV and a '69 Olds. They have about $10,000 in savings and investments...

One powerful Italian, Pericle Felici, 67, who heads the Vatican commissions...
...Authentic Pastor. He is primarily Bishop of Rome. But as a universal pastor, he should be neither an administrator nor a general secretary, not a lawyer, diplomat or bureaucrat. He should be a pastor, a man in the service of men not institutions, a leader resolved not to rule but to serve...
...application of proven available technology. Some of the measures taken have been as sophisticated as the elaborate computer system that Burlington Industries, the big textile firm, has installed to regulate the use of electricity in 20 of its 99 plants. Others are as uncomplicated as the discovery by General Motors that it could save $1,576 a year in electricity bills merely by removing the fluorescent bulbs in its shop-floor vending machines. North Carolina's Sanford Brick and Tile Co. (350 employees) is taking advantage of the mountains of sawdust discarded by nearby furniture factories: it is combining...
