...bigger complaint is the cost of social services such as welfare, medical care and schooling for immigrants and their children who have no right even to be in the country. Assemblyman Richard Mountjoy puts the cost to California at $3 billion a year. Though some illegals pay taxes, he points out that the money goes mainly to Washington, leaving the states to supply the social services from inadequate federal reimbursements. "The state is broke," says an aide to Assemblyman Gil Ferguson. "We've had a multibillion-dollar deficit three years in a row, and yet we continue to pay medical...
...conflicts get resolved by the end of the fourth quarter. Albert's world is more bewildering, achingly inconclusive. He lives in a Greenwich Village brownstone, two flights up from lis "semi-ex-wife" Violet, who has resumed life with her first husband, a functioning dipso poet named Skippy Mountjoy. Albert drops by to walk their dachshund every day. His girlfriend is a youthful, frantically athletic woman whom he calls the Human Dynamo.

A month ago, Kenneth Littlejohn, 32, a convicted bank robber, escaped from Dublin's Mountjoy prison. He set off a public clamor by claiming in a series of interviews that he had been hired by British intelligence to infiltrate the I.R.A. and stir up trouble in the Irish Republic, thereby forcing Dublin to crack down on terrorist sanctuaries. Littlejohn, who is still at large, said that he had been ordered by the British...
Instead of snapping pictures, Leonard instructed Pilot Thompson Boyes to land at an isolated field located in the village of Stradbally. Leonard then bolted away as two armed, masked men approached. One gunman climbed aboard and ordered the pilot to fly to Mountjoy Prison. After the prisoners were liberated, the copter put down on a deserted race track outside Dublin; the I.R.A. men sped off in a hijacked taxi...
