Just two weeks ago, Patrick Baltazar, 11, had been found asphyxiated behind an office building in De Kalb County after he had disappeared from the Omni amusement complex. Medical examiners have ascertained that Baltazar was strangled by a rope in the same manner that Terry Pue, 15, was killed three weeks earlier. Fibers found with Baltazar's body may provide evidence that links his death with five others. A dental assistant, who said that she had seen a man in a green car near the place where Baltazar's body was discovered late the same day, was hypnotized...
Materialize, indeed. Tom Waits is back in Los Angeles, fixed up in an office on the old Hollywood General lot -- now known as Omni Zoetrope Studio and owned by Coppola. The walls in Waits' suite are made of old mahogany. A Yamaha grand piano fills half of one of the rooms. An elaborate tape deck shares a coffee table with magazines, cassettes and scripts. "There's a David Niven feel to the room which I rather enjoy," he says, his eyes scanning the rich wainscoting...

Holding out is no longer the mythic concept of embattled separateness familiar from "Father On" or "From Silver Lake," nor is it the sole property of the omni-virginal You and vestal She. Despite the synicism with which he regards himself, the hold-out is even in Browne, who incoming through artistic puberty has wised up to the ironies and fallacies implicit in holding out, yet held onto the faith he may pretend to have forsaken. He emerges here...
...last week's meeting, Chrysler Chairman Lee Iacocca and President J. Paul Bergmoser were driven up to the White House's northwest gate in a wine-red, four-door Dodge Omni (24 m.p.g. city and 31 m.p.g. highway). They not only dramatized their company's commitment to small cars but successfully upstaged their GM and Ford colleagues, who arrived in larger, albeit "down-sized," Pontiac and Lincoln cars. Right behind Iacocca came the United Auto Workers' Fraser in a compact, light blue Plymouth Horizon, with the $7,200 sticker price still on the window...
