Showing no signs of strain after the rigors of his Moscow visit (see THE WORLD), the bridegroom beamed as Skowcroft offered a simple toast with Korbel (California) champagne: "Health and happiness to both of you!" Then, accompanied by their families, the couple drove to Arlington for the four-minute ceremony and were whisked to National Airport, where Nelson Rockefeller's jet was waiting to fly them to Acapulco for a ten-day honeymoon...

Otherwise sane citizens are in the cold grip of the nation's newest obsession: gasoline fever...

Yet Erving is the second leading pilferer in the A.B.A. The Nets are a very young team (average age: 24), and they lost their first nine games this season while trying to knit their new talent. Erving quickly provided the necessary needles, sacrificing his scoring (five points per game fewer than last season) in order to set up plays for teammates...
