Last week New Jersey-born Bruce Sagan, now a ripe 29, broadened his reach by putting up more than $1,000,000 to buy the 52-year-old Economist, a bustling biweekly whose Southtown and Southeast editions blanket 22% of metropolitan Chicago-including the Lake Calumet area, where Chicago is building a vast new industrial complex on the St. Lawrence Seaway. The ad-fat Economist (circ. 152,000), which has more, than 100 staffers, also has a battling tradition. Example: crying "land steal," it has vociferously fought grandiose plans for a convention palace on the lake front, as decreed long...
...guilt and confusion, he recalls a day ten months before when Stella, a stranger, climbed in beside him as his empty hearse idled at a stop light, said "Take me to your place.'' Slowly some details emerge: he drove her from the Polish quarter of their New Jersey factory town to a cheap Manhattan hotel, later fled, left her to stare vacantly at the ceiling. The symbolism of the recollected scene-the hearse and the casual bed, death and lust-could scarcely be more heavyhanded, but it is a measure of Author Bankowsky's writing skill that...
...Jersey's Democratic Governor Robert Meyner and Connecticut's Democratic Governor Abraham Ribicoff took up the campaign in hopes of winning the votes of commuters, mostly presumed to be Republican.

Also pressured to act last week was New Jersey s Republican Senator Clifford Case whose commuter constituents are taxed not only by New York but by Delaware and Philadelphia as well. Case introduced a Senate resolution calling for a constitutional amendment to prevent any state or local government from taxing nonresidents. His proposal also plugged by Rhode Island's Governor Dennis J. Roberts, whose constituents are taxed by Massachusetts, has very little chance. Even if it should get by the Senate Judiciary Committee, an amendment would need ratification by 36 states, and about a dozen are already taxing nonresidents...
Actually, the eventual solution for New Jersey and Connecticut is to pass their own income tax laws instead of depending so heavily on sales and property taxes as they do now. Then commuters could credit taxes paid to their own states on their New York tax. But so far, neither New Jersey nor Connecticut want such a cure, for political reasons. Governor Ribicoff' who is up for reelection, says he is "unalterably opposed...
