...that combined the best and avoided the worst of both. After selling a few models to friends, Schweitzer left his job as vice president of a computer service firm, bought out Drake's interest and founded Windsurfing International Inc. Today the firm employs 80 at its Marina Del Rey factory and will turn out 12,000 boards this year. There are a wider, more stable version for kids and beginners ($595), the standard model ($745) and the "Rocket," with foot straps for better control at high speeds ($795). Sailrider Inc. of South Salem, N.Y., this year will produce...

His ability to keep his cool contrasts effectively with the surrounding madness. Fernando Rey as the pragmatic Minister of Justice and Max Von Sydow as the fanatically authoritarian Chief Justice also play their roles convincingly...
...most states, though, a landlord can legally evict a tenant for the "crime" of childbearing. At least that is what happened in California to Stephen and Lois Wolfson after they had a child last year. Forced to leave their $425-a-month apartment in Los Angeles' Marina del Rey, they fought the eviction in municipal court and lost. Now they live in a condominium at roughly twice the cost of their old apartment, and are appealing the case under California civil rights law. If they win, a lot of ADULTS ONLY signs will come down, at least in California...
