...collecting signatures on petitions to President Carter. Similar efforts are under way across the country, and a leader of the campaign claims that 40,000 people have signed pleas for clemency. The White House and the Justice Department have received 1,500 letters, including ones from California Senator S.I. Hayakawa, California Lieutenant Governor Mervyn Dymally and Charles Bates, the retired FBI agent responsible for Patty's capture. Asked an editorial on San Diego station KGTV: "How many of us can say we would not follow our captor's orders in order to stay alive...
...handful of votes, and so it seemed would the second as the critical vote loomed last week. South Dakota Democrat James Abourezk, for example, was miffed at being cut out of White House-Congress meetings trying to resolve the question of deregulating natural gas prices. California Republican Sam Hayakawa had fired off a letter to Carter complaining about a wide variety of Administration foreign policy moves. Nevada Democrat Howard Cannon wanted to tack onto the Panama treaty a relatively minor reservation. Massachusetts Republican Edward Brooke was pushing some technical changes. All were threatening to cast negative votes...
Consider, as evidence, the January issue. The cover piece, by California Republican Senator S.I. Hayakawa, attacks Congress's free-spending ways and describes the benefits Hayakawa believes make voluntary unemployment increasingly attractive.

Hayakawa put it, not altogether whimsically, "We stole it fair and square." But it can be argued that ever since the canal was opened for business in 1914, the U.S. has more than made up for its initial land grab. It has managed the canal in an openhanded manner, allowing access...
...greater variety of second careers could be made available to those who leave a job. California Senator S.I. Hayakawa, 71, who favors mandatory retirement (he retired from San Francisco State College in 1973) sees politics as a good new career for the aged. By then ambition, at least of an opportunistic sort, is spent, he says. "When you are 65, you have proven yourself already or you have not. It does not matter any more. We are no longer on the make." For Hayakawa, politics is much like scuba diving, which he has just taken up. "It is scary...
