Nine out of ten complaints about noise in the U.S. cannot be handled by existing legislation, Baron claims. Few states and cities have restrictions on noise, and the Federal Government only last July took its first small step toward quiet. As a condition of getting or keeping federal contracts, companies must follow new Department of Labor rules controlling excessive noise in factories. So far, Baron's lobbying in New York helped persuade Mayor John Lindsay to appoint a special task force on noise control. Its recommendations include such specific-and belated-moves as a crackdown on rumbling trucks...

This year 82 young birds were born in the area, four times as many as last year. But an ecological balance is not easily restored; large game fish now have to be imported to feed on the wildly proliferating silversides.

Even Gary Owens, the Laugh-In announcer, has written a screenplay, has a book coming out, and hosts the daytime spin-off show, Letters to Laugh...
...About a week ago I asked ABC for a little time off," Joey Bishop wisecracked to his studio audience one night last week, "but this is ridiculous." Joey will get the last 13 months of his contract off, ending a hopeless 2½-year challenge to NBC's Johnny Carson. The coup de gráce was the entry of CBS's Merv Griffin into the late-night competition in August. At last count, Johnny was attracting 33% of the audience to Merv's 18% and Joey...
