...same discriminatory provisions that have for years made Arizona's penal system one of the most backward in the nation--stiff, mandatory sentences for blue-collar crime and lax provisions for organized, white-collar crime. The legislature also established a special task force to investigate organized crime, but the panel was given no force of law or full power to subpoena witnesses, and it quickly degenerated to exploring subjects like child pornography rather than narcotics traffic or more important subjects. In the end, the committee ended up as nothing more than a highly partisan publicity-seeking forum for the legislature...
...testified that he was hired for $50,000 to kill Bolles and two other enemies of Arizona liquor dealer Kemper Marley through a Marley intermediary. Bolles had written an investigative article about Marley that had prevented Marley's appointment to the state's racing commission, a panel which, among other things, is in charge of regulating racetrack distribution of liquor by companies like Marley's. But despite Adamson's testimony almost two years ago--and his sentencing to 48 years in prison last month--Marley has not been prosecuted or even arrested in connection with Bolles's death.

...made Zeiss planetarium projector, 12 ft. high weighing 5,500 lbs., with 27,000 parts. Images are beamed up from the two large spheres at either end of the projector.

He would turn over control of the national budget to an appointed Cabinet. A panel of Shi'ite mullahs, his most vociferous critics, would be given the power to veto new laws that were not in conformity with Muslim doctrine. The Shah, however, would retain command of his 280,000-man army, and this was a condition that few Shi'ites, or few other...
...founder and president of World-Wide Sires Inc. of Hanford, Calif., Willard Clark has an occupation that would stump the old What's My Line? panel: he sells bull semen. Acting as a broker for nine artificial-insemination cooperatives, Clark ships the frozen semen of prize U.S. bulls (mainly Holsteins) to more than 40 countries, including the Soviet Union. Now Clark is looking to China, where he also hopes to hog the market for swine semen. His business is only seven years old, and he expects sales this year to reach $5 million...
