...never lied to me now." Add to Kluttz the appeal of the Yankee heritage ("Just walking into Yankee Stadium, the chills run through you," says Hunter) and other assorted blandishments, including a letter from Mayor Abe Beame. No wonder Catfish was intent on trading Oakland's mod pastels for New York's dignified pin stripes...
...City Center Jeffrey Ballet likes to promote itself as the Mod Squad of dance. That self-styled reputation for being with it is amply justified by the success of such signature works as the multimedia Astarte and Trinity, still the best and brightest of rock ballets.

...Carl Uhlman, 39, won election to Washington's state house of representatives while he was still in law school, served four terms before moving on to the state senate, and in 1969 became Seattle's mayor. An affable, attractive, moderately mod Democrat, he has begun refurbishing Seattle's waterfront Skid Row, started a free downtown bus system that has rejuvenated the area, and helped lead the city back from the economic doldrums of 1970. "I don't want to grow old in this job," Uhlman confesses, and with his appeal to voters and his ambition...
