What is most interesting about the vote is that it marked a tremendous change in Philadelphia's traditional voting patterns. Rizzo won substantially in the traditionally Republican, Italian and Irish wards. He carried the 21st Ward on the Northeast side, for example, with about 60 per cent of the vote. Before Tuesday, Ward 21, which is mostly Italian, but includes some working class Jews, had voted for every Republican candidate for Mayor since the Civil...
...deep foundations and basements, a $25,000 house is usually bigger and has more fixtures than a comparable model in the Midwest. Another bargain area is San Antonio, Texas, where land and labor costs are low. The worst area for house hunters is the high-priced, heavily unionized Northeast. Nationally, the average price of a new house including land is now $25,000, compared with $23,400 last year. Most builders see prices continuing to rise by 5% to 10% for each of the next few years, as a result of increases in the costs of land, labor and lumber...
Cambodia has been helped immeasurably, of course, by the North Vietnamese pullback from populated areas into the northeast and east.

There have been widespread reports of terrorism, rape, murder and pillaging by South Vietnamese. In an interview with TIME Correspondent...
...most sensational possibility to surface last week was that a high-level defector might have a role in the political turmoil. The Soviet news agency Tass picked up a Mongolian dispatch concerning the crash "for unknown reasons" of a Chinese air force jet in northeast Mongolia only 60 miles from the Soviet border. The crash took place on the night of Sept. 12-the day before the air force was so suddenly grounded. Nine charred bodies, several weapons and unspecified "documents" were found in the wreckage...
...wide-ranging exploration of merger possibilities-the classic, though not always successful industry device for rescuing the flounderers. Some carriers have already reached merger agreements. Currently pending before the Civil Aeronautics Board are three proposed consolidations that could strongly affect the industry's structure: Mohawk with Allegheny, Northeast with Delta and, by far the largest and most important, American with Western. The American-Western merger would join the second-and eighth-biggest domestic carriers...
