...Broadway's Man of La Mancha unexpectedly sold out for twelve weeks, Sack President A. Alan Friedberg stepped up his efforts to renew his lease. This was bad news to Lodge, who had been raising money since 1976 to turn the Music Hall into the Metropolitan Center, a nonprofit performing hall for the dance, opera and orchestral groups that had forsaken Boston. Lodge beat out Friedberg, coming up with the $1.75 million to purchase the 40-year lease, and he claims to have 150 nights booked for a season beginning in November 1980. But $3.5 million worth of expansion...
...fact, Baker and Buchwald are founding members of the American Academy of Humor Columnists, a nonpartisan, nonprofit and otherwise nonexistent organization that hands out awards to each member and encourages the exchange of funny memos. "If we put as much effort into our columns as we have into our correspondence, we'd all be millionaires," says Erma Bombeck, 52, whose madcap suburban comedies are syndicated to 800 newspapers, and who may be a millionaire anyway...

Spokesman Robert Pollard, a former NRC safety inspector who resigned when his recommendations were overridden: "The top men at the NRC grew up [in the AEC] with the dream of nuclear energy. For that dream to work, it has to be economical. Even though they...
...determined to work out some form of pseudodiplomatic relationship. The result was a lawyer's delight. As of March 1, what used to be the government of China becomes an entity officially designated as "the people on Taiwan"; the U.S. embassy in Taiwan becomes the American Institute, a nonprofit organization incorporated under the laws of the District of Columbia; the Taiwanese embassy in Washington becomes the Coordination Council for North American Affairs, an "instrumentality established by the people on Taiwan." Inscrutable though these new "instrumentalities" may appear, they will enable the U.S. and Taiwan to preserve all their previous...
