...this effort has suddenly paid off grandly, and madly, Springsteen remains obdurately unchanged. He continues to hassle with Appel over playing large halls, and just last month refused to show up for a Maryland concert Appel had booked into a 10,000-seat auditorium. The money is starting to flow in now: Springsteen takes home $350 a week, the same as Appel and the band members. There are years of debt and back road fees to repay. Besides, Springsteen is not greatly concerned about matters of finance. Says John Hammond: "In all my years in this business...
Already, there are signs that conventional banks and financial institutions are becoming more responsive to women's needs. For example, under the motto "Women Mean Business," the State National Bank of Maryland has opened a special women's branch in Bethesda, including a small nursery where mothers can leave their children while chatting with loan officers, and E.F. Hutton, a big Manhattan brokerage house, is conducting special seminars for women investors. All together, women seem to be making major strides in winning financial equality with men-but they still have a long...
...JULY afternoon in rural Maryland, Senator Russell Long's Finance Committee staffeked out an 8 to 7 softball win over William Simon's Treasury Department jocks. Although it represented one of the few Congressional triumphs over the Ford Administration for the summer of 1975, the game was not very reassuring.

Soon it served as a tavern, polling place, post of fice and home for the Surratt family, and the area became known as Surrattsville. After Surratt died in 1862, his widow Mary leased the building and moved to Washington, where she opened a boardinghouse. It was there, in 1865, that John Wilkes Booth plotted the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. One of Booth's associates, John Lloyd, turned state's evidence and implicated Mrs. Surratt in the conspiracy...
They continued to give their schools the Surrattsville name, and they kept a close eye on the Surratt house. In 1965 its last private owner donated it to the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission. A group of local citizens raised money for its restoration, and last week it was formally dedicated as a historical monument. Boy Scouts directed traffic while an honor guard from nearby Andrews Air Force Base presented colors. Said Restoration Committee Chairman Thomas S. Gwynn Jr. to the 700 onlookers, including 30-odd Surratt descendants who attended the affair: "To remove this blot, this blemish...
