Generally, the handicapped and those who drive them get no special consideration under state and local gas-rationing plans. They must wait in line like anyone else-a physical impossibility for some of the disabled who, because of fatigue and skin breakdowns, cannot sit in line for an hour or more-and buy gas only on odd-or even-numbered days, according to their license plate numbers. Nor can gas-station owners save fuel to sell to their handicapped customers; to do so is forbidden by a Federal Energy Office regulation that bans favoritism to regular customers, handicapped...
...morning after his kidnapers had released him, Atlanta Constitution Editor Reg Murphy was haggard and tired. Because his wrists had been bound during much of his 49-hour ordeal, one hand was still numb. But he was a newsman with a story. So he sat down and wrote a 4,000-word account of what it had been like in captivity. The Associated Press immediately moved the story on its national wire in time to make Sunday editions round the country...
...tringent look that cuts nicely against the gathering force of the script. Jean Eustache, who is 35 and whose previous work (Santa Claus Has Blue Eyes) has been shown in the U.S. only at a few museums, planned every move and wrote every word of the 3½-hour assault.

...classic knuckling under to a classic labor confrontation. As company president, the 54-year-old Farah originally saw no reason why his workers needed a union. After all, he claimed, he paid well ($1.70 an hour to start, lO? above the federal minimum wage) and provided a clean, bright, air-conditioned factory. On the other side, the Amalgamated was eager to organize Farah Manufacturing as an opening wedge to crack the dozens of clothing manufacturers in the Southwest that bask in a non-union atmosphere. Union organizers were able to capitalize on a genuine labor grievance. Farah's mostly...
...recombing that life, issuing volumes of edited diaries and letters that began with her opulent childhood (Bring Me a Unicorn, 1972) as daughter of Morgan Partner Dwight Morrow, and Ambassador to Mexico. The second volume was last year's bestselling account of the tragic kidnaping of her son (Hour of Gold, Hour of Lead). This third volume begins when the Lindberghs were still hounded by reporters, and ends when they decided to escape it all and find a new life in England. The result is short on drama, but it rises to savage yet poignant moments. On a rare...
