...half truths. Asks one Mobil ad: "Are oil profits big? Right. Big enough? Wrong. So says the Chase Manhattan Bank." That is like asking American Motors whether small cars have a future. A Gulf ad correctly states that the energy crisis is partly a result of Government regulations that kept oil and gasoline prices so low that they encouraged overconsumption; the ad naturally does not mention that the oil industry's advertising, which for years exhorted customers to consume ever greater quantities of its products, is also partly to blame...
...show Irene despite a behind-the-scenes handicap. Director Gower Champion, busy with a new musical, declined to rehearse with Jane. Luckily, an interim replacement was at hand: Debbie Reynolds, 41, her predecessor as Irene. "Debbie helped me in every possible way," said a delighted Jane.

Scientists will be kept busy for years studying the accumulated findings - to say nothing of the dramatic observations already reported from space. Astronaut Gibson, a solar physicist by training, managed to photograph for the first time the very beginnings of a solar flare - a sudden, violent release of enormous energy from the sun's interior. Looking earthward, the astronauts observed strange, swirling eddies in warm ocean currents that are apparently involved in the exchange of heat between water and atmosphere, an important factor in global weather and climate...
DeFunis and his lawyers from the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith took their case to the United States Supreme Court. A stay granted by Justice William O. Douglas had kept DeFunis in law school after the state supreme court's reversal, and the Supreme Court then decided to hear the case beginning on February...
