...level of seedy respectability when hippies and a punk element, turned on by drugs, arrived in the mid-1960s. From 1969 through 1975, the robbery, burglary and homicide rates in Hollywood climbed nearly twice as fast as for Los Angeles as a whole; narcotics and liquor violations rose more than five times as fast. Last year there were 2,168 prostitution arrests in Hollywood-ten times the average for the city's 16 other police divisions. The streets teemed with whores, transvestites and the S-M crowd dangling slave bracelets and chains. Alarmed, L.A. Police Chief Edward M. Davis...
Once ashore, the men scrambled up the cliffs barefoot, heedless of kiawe thorns. After the sun rose, they scattered for cover when a Marine patrol helicopter appeared in the azure sky. Danger past, they made a small base camp and hid food and water in secret caches.

All the rest showed gains. The best performer by far was Amerada Hess, a big independent, whose second-quarter earnings rose 77% over the same period last year, to $51.9 million. Other outstanding performances: Atlantic Richfield (up 41%, to $191.2 million), Getty (up 21%, to $75.8 million), Union of California (up 41%, to $75.2 million) and California Standard (up 34%, to $277 million). Despite the surging profits, oil stocks fell sharply...
...After being stopped for speeding down Main Street, Morton Rose was brought on the show to further the spirit of ecumenism. The producers figured no one in tiny, inbred Fernwood had ever seen a Jew and that seeing one would erase unfortunate stereotypes. "What tribe are you from?" asked Hubbard. "I'm originally from Toledo," answered Rose, eager to help. At that point Garth turned the program over to "Talk-to-a-Jew" and let the viewing audience into the act. "I'd like to know why Mr. Rose isn't wearing a beanie," said one woman...
