...make an arrest. The night before he was brought in, the suspect had led a police surveillance team on a chase through the city, driving past the homes of Mayor Maynard Jackson, Nathaniel Cater's father and finally Public Safety Commissioner Lee Brown, where he paused to honk his horn and shout. In addition, the possibility that Williams might attempt to flee was raised by reports that his father had requested information about a charter pilot at a local airport...

...protesters, take the lead, chanting "Cut the Fence and Go Right In, NLF is Gonna Win" as they walk past the Dunkin' Donuts on the corner of Rte 1 and Railroad Ave. Their leader tries to shout orders back down the line--"When we start to fight, one honk and a green flag means hit the fence, two honks and a red flag means retreat," he explains. "Pass it back." They head for the west side of the plant, and approach decided on after hours of agonizing parley. Those that the western majority couldn't convince are at this moment...

...Both the honk and those extrasensory ears belong to James Brooks, and if he breaks up at his own jokes, he has a good excuse: Brooks is one of the funniest writers in television history. His offbeat humor animated The MTM Show, a TV icon; it is the moving force behind a hit from last season, Taxi; and it is now making The Associates into perhaps the brightest, if not the highest rated, sitcom of the new season.

...Public Service Co., owners of the plant, just wish the whole group of protesters--with their tents and tarpaulins and two-by-ten planks for crossing marshland eddies, their gas masks and bolt-cutters and ropes for bringing down fences, their plans and tactics and shouts of "honk if you hate nukes"--the owners wish they would just go home. Or, failing that, they wish no one showed up to cover them. But nearly 500 reporters did, and the state's press center soon proved good for little more than the coffee and doughnuts that, you were often reminded...

Stinking buses, their passengers gaunt, pale and weary, jam the crowded streets. Drivers shout at one another and honk their horns as they turn the city's few escape routes into ribbons of steel. Smog smarts the eyes and chokes the senses. The scene is Athens at rush hour. The city of Plato and Pericles is in a sorry state of affairs, built without a plan, lacking even adequate sewerage and sanitation facilities, hemmed in by mountains and the sea, its 135 sq. mi. crammed with 3.7 million people. Even Athens' ruins are in ruin: sulfur dioxide eats...
