...subjects interviewed by the Manhattan-based Training for Living Institute, * 87 had been on heroin. Three-fourths were male, half were black, one-fourth white, one-fourth Puerto Rican. Most had incomes in the $5,000 to $10,000 range. Among the 91 who had taken drugs during working hours, 48 had also sold them to other employees, 37 had stolen goods to sell on the outside, and 28 had stolen cash or checks. One man had forged and cashed an entire payroll. Although the average age of the subjects was only 23, they had already been on drugs...
Wild Turnips. That change is what has attracted the interest of teachers in other American subcultures, and Wig now travels far and wide to explain his methods.

It is a complaint likely to be echoed by a broader audience when the Melba Moore-Clifton Davis Show ends...

In the wake of the massacre at Tel Aviv airport two weeks ago, when three Japanese gunmen killed 24 people-among them 17 Puerto Rican pilgrims-Israel vowed revenge. The question was when and where the Israelis would strike back. Blaming Lebanon and Egypt for supporting the Arab terrorists who had sent the three Japanese on their deadly mission, Defense Minister Moshe Dayan last week warned that "there is nothing easier for Israel than to paralyze air communications if countries such as Lebanon...
Security varies from airline to airline and from route to route. In too many cases it appears to be slipshod, even on flights to Israel, which presumably are among those most closely checked. Raul Maldonado, 38, a member of the decimated Puerto Rican pilgrimage on Air France Flight 132 last week, insists that security was poor. Maldonado, who was unhurt in the shooting, told TIME Correspondent Marlin Levin: "No one searched me bodily and no one searched my hand baggage when I got on at Orly...
