...allowances, that stretch the clerical dollar. Nearly every established parish in the U.S. provides its minister with tax-free housing, plus repairs and utilities allowances. Admits Dr. Ben Morris Ridpath of Kansas City's Trinity Methodist Church (salary: $11,000): "It would cost me $300 a month to rent a home like the parsonage I have now." Although relatively few ministers in the larger Protestant denominations have time to accept sideline jobs, their wives do; in Miami, Baptist congregations commonly allow ministers to hire their own wives as church secretaries. Many congregations provide expense accounts, vacation hideaways, cars...

The $4,000,000, mile-long monorail to the fairgrounds will soon be paid for, and may be turned over to the city. As for the rest of the fair. private creditors have already recouped their original $4,500,000 investment, and since the fair still has another...
...their ire by descending before dawn on Bonnefoi, the 400-acre farm owned by Tough Guy Gabin, 58, who recently bought up two other nearby holdings totaling 250 acres. The posse cut the phone lines and otherwise vandalized his property while their spokesmen argued with Gabin, who refused to rent his land to tenants, announced angrily and in haste that he would sell his two new farms−in all probability, to other cumulards, since they are worth nearly $200,000. Last week public indignation at the farmers' lawless tactics, raising memories of the 14th century Jacquerie* prompted Premier...
