Architect William Pereira reckons incorrectly that the Pacific Mutual building in San Francisco will be the first high-rise office structure with openable windows to be built in the U.S. since World War II [March 6]. Many have been built with openable windows. The U.N. Secretariat building is one; completion date...
...maintenance workers' last contract ran out on December 7, but the University and the trades council have continued to extend the contract by mutual consent. As negotiations stretched into March, a federal mediator was called in who attended the last two bargaining sessions...
Fugitive Financier Robert Vesco has been facing some rough weather in the sunny Caribbean. Charged with embezzling $224 million from the now defunct I.O.S.

After sustaining the initial shock, Dallas Angel (Ann Wedgeworth) and Portland Angel (Marcia Rodd) compare their "mutual" husband's bedside manner over drinks--many, many drinks. Wedgeworth's naive and honest persona and Rodd's cool, assertive character play off each other perfectly; both actresses are accomplished in their timing and facial expression. Not since Zero Mostel and Phil Silvers in A Funny Thing... have a duo coordinated...
