...been married for 21 years, disputes his un-Christian image. "What nobody knows is that if Billy wants to go to church, he'll go to Americus [ten miles away] and go to church, and nobody knows anything about it." Billy is also a family man; the beer hour never prevents him from sitting down to dinner with Sybil and their six children, who range in age from three months to 20 years. He is also a bang-up businessman, who in the past six years has raised the gross of the family peanut business from...
...waging a battle to persuade people who live in the city to stay in the city. Six 30-sec. commercial spots, being aired free of charge by the three major commercial TV stations, emphasize the theme that Seattle is "an interesting place to live." One spot depicts a rush-hour traffic jam with the single spoken message: "If you lived in Seattle, you'd be home by now." The commercials were made for less than $2,000 of public money-and, say city officials, will have paid for themselves in taxes if they persuade only three or four families...

They created a rare Sunday afternoon traffic jam that delayed the rites for a half-hour. The event, unprecedented in U.S. Catholicism, was a "Day of Reconciliation." It offered sacramental absolution without individual confession to all participants, both practicing Catholics and those who had become alienated from the church, including those who had divorced and remarried. For many, it was the first Mass in years...
...news shows were given more time, they would become more than animated headline services and could provide more depth and nuance. The argument has not been put to the test because the networks have been unable to persuade local affiliates to extend network news to 45 minutes or an hour. But what they do with the time already available does not favor their case. Their newscasts regularly sag, at about the two-thirds mark, into some forgettable feature. Why the evening's main story does not instead get that extra moment of rounding...
