After a 1975 suicide at Little Greystone, the innovative San Francisco public television station KQED sent a reporter and a cameraman to film conditions there. County Sheriff Thomas Houchins turned them away. But after the station sued to gain entry, Houchins announced a program of regular monthly prison tours open to the public, including reporters. There were a few catches: no cameras, no tape recorders, no interviews with inmates and no access at all to the Little Greystone building. The station pressed its suit, and a federal district court ordered the sheriff to grant the press wider access...
Schlafly, however, is hardly a typical housewife. Author of nine books, a three-time candidate for the U.S. Congress, full-time law student at Washington University in St. Louis, editor of a monthly newsletter, twice-a-week syndicated newspaper columnist and regular speaker at anti-ERA rallies, she acts very much like a liberated woman. By her own reckoning, she is away from her family at least once a week. She employs a full-time housekeeper to care for her six-bedroom Tudor-style mansion overlooking the Mississippi River in Alton...
Success is the root of the problem. More than one-third of all passengers now fly on cut-rate fares, 20% to 50% below regular tariffs, and most would not be aloft without them. The bargains have been brought about by President Carter's plan for the eventual deregulation of the airlines. As a first step, the CAB, in the past wary of cut-rate fares, has been approving almost all applications. The nation's twelve major and ten regional airlines of fer at least 26 separate bargain fares, under such catchy names as Chickenfeed and Peanuts...
...cheapie fares puts a burden on reservation agents, who must spend far more tune explaining catches to passengers. The average phone call to Eastern Air Lines, for instance, has doubled to five minutes since the promotional fares went into effect. In most cities, airline phone lines are jammed. Regular travelers who pay full fares are often unable to make bookings, and business people who have urgent appointments in other cities sometimes cannot confirm their reservations. Hence they may lose their seats to stand-by passengers paying only a fraction of the full fare. Says American Airlines Senior Vice President Robert...
...joyful. The Minnesota primary, just over, had been contested by both Taft and Stassen, Minnesota's favorite son. And Eisenhower, not listed on the ballot, on a write-in vote, had come in second to Stassen with 37.2% of the total to Stassen's 44.4% on the regular ballot! (Ike's one-time chief, Douglas MacArthur, it should be noted, won only 1/2 of 1% of the vote that day.) Following Eisenhower's New Hampshire victory a week earlier, it was a phenomenal showing, an earthquake. There could no longer be any dodging the reality that...
