...duty to get the children to school, works all day with Austin's city manager and six-member council, and hurries home to cook dinner for her children (she is a divorcee). She then returns to city hall for more paper work. Since taking office in 1977, McClellan has got voter approval of bond issues totaling $141 million for remodeling the city and continuing Austin's participation in a nuclear-power venture. She is persuasive: she won the nuclear-power bond issue by 53% just ten days after the Three Mile Island incident...
...William Hensley, 38, an Eskimo, grew up in northwest Alaska living as a nomad. After catching the attention of teachers in the town of Kotzebue, he boldly set out for the nation's capital, where he got a degree in political science from George Washington University. In 1966 Hensley returned to Alaska to lead the struggle for native rights. As a state legislator, he flew to Washington more than 100 times to help keep the land claims issue before Congress. In 1971 Congress passed the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act that gave Eskimos, Indians and Aleuts nearly $1 billion...
...Sure I've got enough to live on," conceded Tacho Somoza, as he fled Nicaragua for his $1 million home-in-exile in Miami Beach.

There's no record of how it was spent or who got it. Another $11 million was transferred to the embassy during the imperial couple's mid-November visit to Washington in 1977. We gave the FBI considerable evidence on both cases some six weeks ago, and are waiting for results. [The FBI confirmed last week that the Iranian government had asked...
...attention of crowds. As hundreds of thousands of Tanzanians cheered the royal family in Dar es Salaam, one busty woman tried to seize Andrew's attention. Ignoring the words TAKE MY BODY emblazoned on her T shirt, he discreetly averted his gaze. Two teen-age girls got more of a rise from the prince by standing outside church on Sunday morning and holding up a banner that read HI ANDY, STOP ROUND FOR SOME COFFEE. He walked over to the startled girls and gallantly responded, "I'm terribly sorry, but I haven't the time...
