...hassles of band tours that the P. & T. singers used to endure. Their annual take is $15,000 to $20,000 a year. The composers make about the same. Unlike the two vocal groups, however, they are not played out by the 3:30 p.m. quitting time, and can moonlight for another $10,000 annually. Though they all probably get more air play than Streisand, Jagger or Bacharach put together, P. & T. staffers are paid no residuals or ASCAP royalties...
...President Nixon proposed "the immediate and unconditional release of all prisoners of war held by both sides." (Laird said last week that Saigon holds 35,000 P.O.W.s to the enemy's 3,000.)

He never discusses his views outside his office, he says, because "it's so easy to work up ill feelings arguing about politics, religion or the war." In fact, he spends only about 15 minutes a day discussing proposed editorials with his News colleagues, most notably Executive Editor Floyd Barger. Then Maury takes less than two hours to write the three to five editorials settled upon. Generally, the only News editorials he does...
...high, workers at the $7,202-a-year G55 level have earned 20% less than their counterparts in private enterprise. "The money I make is so low that I can apply for welfare." says Marvel Paine, a G54 hospital clerk with the Veterans Administration in Tacoma.
