Johnson had more than one reason for praise. The insurance companies' pledge may be the crucial factor in keeping alive his cherished rent-supplement program, which has been killed by the House of Representatives but approved by the Senate Appropriations Committee. Since much of the $1 billion would finance apartments for tenants supported by the rent supplements, it represents tangible evidence for conservative Congressmen that business not only supports the program, but will also provide more than enough private financing to get it under way. Given the need, even $1 billion is not a large...
...this week two other convicts and their wives will have moved quietly into the neighborhood; another couple is due before Christmas. Unlike parolees, the live-out prisoners have their rent subsidized by the state, the goal being to ease the transition to civilian life for cons with good records. It is the pet project of Swedish Prisons General Director Torsten Eriksson, who so far has every reason to expect success.

Indeed, Robert...
...Warner made the first "talkie"-is peculiarly suitable, with its 10-ft. to 16-ft. ceilings, a cafeteria and an auditorium, all features that Architect Richard Meier hopes to preserve in the ren ovation. Tenants, to be screened by a citizens' committee, will be able to rent units at approximately $110 a month...
