...form or another. Under the concerted conservative attack, the programs are being questioned and even halted in many areas. Notably, boards of education in three California cities have been sued because of sex courses by citizen groups charging invasion of privacy. Legislators in Arizona, California, Iowa, New Jersey, New York and Oklahoma have recently debated the merits of sex-education programs. Last May, New York's Governor Nelson Rockefeller approved a conservative-backed law withholding state funds from sex education courses, and a similar bill has been proposed in Congress to withhold federal monies. Tennessee has adopted...
...organized crime became available last week when a 2,000-page transcript of FBI tape recordings was filed in Federal District Court in Newark, N.J. The tapes were presented by the district attorney in connection with extortion-conspiracy charges against Simone Rizzo ("Sam the Plumber") De-Cavalcante, a New Jersey Mafia leader. The FBI had bugged four mob hangouts in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, including the office of DeCavalcante's Kenilworth, N.J., plumbing-supply firm...
Besides murder, there were heady whiffs of political corruption. The tapes indicated a familiarity between mobsters and New Jersey public officials. In one conversation, which the FBI said took place shortly before the 1964 election, DeCavalcante promised Democrat Thomas Dunn unlimited support in Dunn's campaign for mayor of Elizabeth, N.J.

Fantasy Window. One outstanding member of the "new grotesques" is Gregory Gillespie, 32, a native of New Jersey who now lives in Rome and shows at Manhattan's Forum Gallery. Gilles pie, who first went to Italy on a Fulbright in 1963, paints with tempera and oil on wood panels, as did Bellini and Giorgione, and loves Renaissance perspective. He limns tiny images of skinned-looking women or bloated, lecherous men as zestfully as Bosch him self, and sets them against the wall of a squalid Roman slum. Surrealistically oozing globules and pustules contrast with saints' pictures...
...their part, oilmen maintain that they would not have risked North Slope drilling without the depletion allowance, and claim that the allowance is necessary to spur further development. Despite the likelihood of a cut in the allowance, however, the managers of Atlantic-Richfield, British Petroleum and Jersey Standard believe that the find will be so profitable that they plan to invest $900 million in an 800-mile pipeline. It will bring the oil to the ice-free port of Valdez, Alaska. In order to expand its marketing of Alaskan oil, British Petroleum last week announced its intention of merging with...
