...home in predominantly Negro Compton, where he often stays up until 4 a.m. to write a novel, poetry and plays expressing the frustrations of a ghetto black. He claims that he can get along on 15 hours of sleep a week. John Gonzales, a journalism major at San Francisco State College, finds that he cannot hold a job during the school year and keep up his studies. But he works 60 hours a week during the summer, lives on the pay he saves in the winter and gets state-guaranteed student loans when the cash runs out. Mostly he works...
...exclusive formal ball will mark Halloween in San Francisco this week. In couturier gowns and elaborately confected masquerades, the couples will whisk around the floor until 2 a.m., while judges award prizes for the best costumes and the participants elect an "Empress."

Homosexuals have picketed businesses, the White House and the Pentagon, demanding an end to job discrimination and the right to serve in the Army without a dishonorable discharge if their background is discovered...
Homosexual organizations across the country run discussion groups and record hops. A San Francisco group known as S.I.R. (Society for Individual Rights) organizes ice-skating parties, chess clubs and bowling leagues. Nor is it necessary for a homosexual to join a homophile organization to enjoy a full social life: homosexuals often are the parlor darlings of wealthy ladies ("fag hags"). Marriage in these circles can involve a homosexual and a busy career woman who coolly take the vows for companionship?and so that they can pool their incomes and tax benefits for a glittering round of entertaining...
