...fails to obey a lawful order or provide requested assistance. The police are free to deputize onlookers, who will automatically be guiltless if any person present is subsequently killed or wounded, provided no malice or premeditation is involved. The law allows officers to cordon off any area, prohibit the sale of guns or alcohol, impose curfews, and enter private dwellings when in fresh pursuit of a rioter or when searching for firearms or explosives. Violation of any orders under the law can mean a fine of $500, six months in jail, or both...
...housing corporation will be headed by Chairman Carter Burgess, former head of American Machine & Foundry, and President Ray Watt, a large West Coast builder. It aims to raise $50 million from large corporations and banks and a public sale of stock. Then it will invest most of the money in a number of partnerships of local builders and small investors. For every dollar that the corporation puts up, each local partnership will put up about three dollars. In addition, these partnerships will get FHA-insured loans under the National Housing Act for up to 90% of the costs of construction...

The proposed Lake Erie jetport would take an estimated ten years to complete, the New Orleans jetport nine, and even Chicago...
...vulnerable in the U.S., its biggest foreign market. The company shipped a record 570,000 cars there in 1968, but its 51% share of the American market is under direct attack by the Japanese and by Ford's new $1,995 Maverick. In its first two weeks on sale, the Maverick has been selling briskly but somewhat off the pace set by the then-new Mustang in 1964. So far, it has made no appreciable dent in Volkswagen sales, but next year it will be joined by VW-sized cars now being designed by G.M. and American Motors...
