While the cast assembled, the only integral member of the Jaws unit still back in California was Special Effects Whiz Bob Mattey. He was building a 24-ft. great white shark that would be required to surface, swim, submerge, snap its jaws, thrash its tail, roll its eyes and gobble up Robert Shaw. Usually movie monsters get to work under the most pristine studio conditions. Mattey's great white not only had to behave like the real thing but also had to work in a shark's habitat. Imagine King Kong tramping down Fifth Avenue and shin-nying...
...pell-mell push, the house passed five bills by votes of more than 130 to 0, although only about 30 of the 176 members were present. As the roll was called, legislators scampered about the floor to vote for absent colleagues. When even such stratagems failed to reduce the pile of legislation sufficiently, the Democratic leadership combined 168 bills into two packages and forced a vote on each without debate.

High Cost. So far only two candidates, Alabama Governor George Wallace and Washington Senator Henry Jackson, have met the requirements, Wallace almost entirely through direct mail drives.

The usual jealousies and rivalries flourish and take on fresh coloration, until Oscar and Nicky roll on the kitchen floor, battling furiously with each other, while the excluded bride yells, "Let me alone, let me alone!" After the temporary cessation of hostilities, she announces her decision to leave the whole fortune to charity. So Oscar and Nicky quickly-and not entirely reluctantly-realize that murder is their...
With the war over, what will happen to the peace movement? At a recent Berkeley, Calif., rally cheering the North Vietnamese victory, speakers were shouted down in favor of a rock-'n'-roll band. At Kent State University, organizers had difficulty attracting even a handful of students to a commemoration of the students killed half a decade...
