Rivercraft and rescue squads quickly swept.the scene for survivors, picking up at least eight, along with five bodies. Divers spotted three more corpses in a car but were unable to recover any of the victims pinned in the submerged scrap heap. It will take weeks of work to cut them all free. Some cars were doubtless swept downstream, and police estimated that it would be a long time-if ever-until a full count could be made of the victims. Mean while, Ohio Governor James Rhodes and his West Virginia counterpart, Hulett Carlson Smith, were pressing for an investigation...
...shot, he aims mainly for a greater share of the market by getting endorsements from notorious gunslingers. Lou and Winifred start lowering their eyes and necklines in his direction, but the Badman brothers start raising hell. In a grand-horse-opera finale, everyone gets plugged and expires in a heap on boot hill. Infusions of Kola Loca magically resurrect them all, whereupon Joe, Horace, Doug and Lou discover that they all have matching wrist moles the size of a silver dollar. The reunited family promptly announces a merger and invents a compromise drink called Whiskola, while Joe and Winifred happily...

The pro gram's critics sought to dismember Sar gent Shriver's Office of Economic Opportunity; its champions strove to heap half again as much largesse on the OEO as the White House had requested or wanted in a year of planned retrenchment. In the end, after an elaborate series of votes and floor maneuvers, the Senate passed a slightly enlarged version of Lyndon Johnson's poverty bill by a vote...
...golden fleece or a Holy Grail, but for Lee's stolen share of the stolen loot. His techniques are sometimes interesting-as when he uses a white 1967 Chrysler convertible to subdue a bad-guy passenger by crashing, crunching and slamming the car into a junkyard heap. His invasion of the syndicate's impregnable penthouse (carpeted in wall-to-wall red fox fur) begins with a steamy sex wrestle and ends in a superbly vertiginous shot of a naked mobster arcing 20-odd stories into a crowded street...
