Representative Sam Devine of Ohio was about to start home late one evening when the telephone rang. It was Jimmy Carter, seeking support for his veto of the public works bill. The call was a little grating to Republican Devine because the President had been making a virtual family project of unseating him in next month's elections. Carter and Rosalynn had both gone to Ohio to speak against Devine, and Miss Lillian was scheduled to campaign there too until she was diverted to attend the Pope's funeral. So Devine was noncommittal to Carter...
Anthony Philip Henry of Dayton, Ohio, has a deep-seated belief that the words In God We Trust on U.S. currency are blasphemous. Last week he tried to take his case right to the top: the White House. Wearing a white karate suit and carrying his well-thumbed Bible, he scrambled over the fence from Pennsylvania Avenue and managed to scamper 15 yards onto the White House lawn before being met by at least eight Secret Service agents and uniformed guards. Thereupon the slightly built, 35-year-old gate crasher whipped out a three-inch knife from his Bible...
...ground in Los Angeles, Martin Kazy Jr., 32, a flight instructor with 5,000 hours of experience, got into a yellow-striped Cessna 172 owned by Gibbs Flite Center at Montgomery Field, eleven miles northeast of Lindbergh Field. Kazy, who had moved to California last year from Youngstown, Ohio, had just obtained a new job flying charter aircraft throughout the West and had asked his fiancéee, Jennifer Lefler, 25, also a flyer, to travel with him as copilot. One of his last scheduled assignments as an instructor was last week's flight. With him was Marine Sergeant...
...expected at the outset, two years ago, when members and staffers feuded in public and repeatedly leaked unsubstantiated reports that there was "new evidence" of a conspiracy. Part of the committee's increased professionalism followed the appointment of G. Robert Blakey, a Cornell law professor, as counsel and Ohio Democrat Louis Stokes as chairman. But much of the credit must go to North Carolina Democrat Richardson Preyer, who headed the subcommittee that probed J.F.K.'s assassination. In two years as a federal judge and ten years in Congress, Preyer, 59, a Bible-quoting Presbyterian elder, has won wide...
EPEA's latest project was a feasibility study on the re-opening, under community and worker control, of the shut-down Youngstown, Ohio, steel mill. Alperovitz's analysis of the much-ballyhoed "steel crisis" last year shows that corporate greed was the core of the problem, the catalyst for throwing Youngstown out of work. Youngstown Sheet and Tube, locally-owned and highly-profitable in the '60s, was 1969's Ripe Takeover of the Year. Lykes Steamship Company, based in New Orleans and one-seventh the size of Youngstown, borrowed the buy-out capital from Wall Street and elsewhere, using Youngstown...
