...ever restless Governor, his shifts to the right did not seem to be paying off. Determined to honor his pledge to reduce spending, he vetoed two bills that would have given state employees a bigger pay increase than he favored. But both vetoes were overridden by a mutinous state legislature, which also overturned a third Brown veto. Until this rebellion, the legislature had overridden only three vetoes in 33 years. Another of Brown's favorite conservative causes is bogged down: the drive for a Constitutional Convention to approve an amendment to balance the federal budget...
Beset by troubles in other areas where Iran's restless ethnic and religious minorities live, the seven-month-old government of Ayatullah Ruhollah Khomeini is moving desperately to keep its grip over the chaotic country.

Flamingo Road...
...York Democratic politician who was the state's unbeatable comptroller for 24 years, may be making a virtue of necessity. The American Stock Exchange, after all, has long been a home for smaller companies. When he became its chairman in January 1978, he inherited a roster of restless firms whose ambition was to grow large enough to be listed on the Big Board, the New York Stock Exchange. Levitt, who now earns more than $200,000 a year, says he discovered that these companies had "little representation in government and very little control over their own destinies. I felt...
