...University signed an agreement with the City that will raise its voluntary payments in lieu of taxes about 175 per cent in two years--from $283,095 in 1971 to $410,000 in 1972, and approximately $500,000 this year...
Southerland was arraigned in U.S. district court in Baltimore and held in lieu of $50,000 bail. That seemed pretty stiff for the formal charges, but Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael E. Marr made the bail stick by convincing a district court last week that Southerland was an "incredibly high bail risk."

...materials they work with. "There is an enormous appeal in the New Jewelry," says Lyon, who serves as jewelry consultant to London's River Gallery.

...lieu of characterization, Scenarist Stone (Charade, Father Goose) furnishes each prominent member of the congress with a quirk or a foible by which he will be easily recognizable, if not quite human. Thus John Adams (William Daniels) is a prig, Jefferson (Ken Howard) a love-smitten daydreamer, Franklin (Howard Da Silva) a convivial pragmatist, and so on. The actors seize on these poor scraps and work them to death, although they should probably be commended for not breaking into giggles over such Stone dialogue as "Better get yourself down to Congress, Mr. Adams" or "Reconciliation my ass-the people want...
