Trouble was, the $3,000,000 program to increase the seating in the park from 3,000 to 30,000 seats is still not complete, and right up until game time Expo General Manager Jim Fanning and a squad of ushers were frantically setting up 6,000 folding chairs. They should have given one to the catchers. Mired in muck up to their ankles, their position was the sloppiest on a field that had been turned into a lumpy, bumpy pasture by the spring thaw. During the day the pitcher's mound sank by a good five inches. Expo...
...businessman, David Rockefeller, 53, president of New York's Chase-Manhattan Bank, might logically be expected to derive considerable satisfaction from the resounding financial success of Chase's ambitious program to decorate its offices and reception areas with fine art. In the decade since the program's inception, the bank has spent $800,000 for 1,500 paintings, sculptures and graphics by 500 artists.

...foundation's penchant for controversy is abetted by a flock of waggish personalities who are refreshingly aloof from the slick chat of commercial radio. KPFK Disk Jockey Lew Merkelson, an ex-truck driver who runs Los Angeles' most knowledgeable classical-music program, often invites local enthusiasts to come in and play their favorite records on the air. Newscasters at Pacifica stations report only top stories; at KPFK, they take pride in the fact that they never even mentioned Jacqueline Kennedy's wedding...
