...front, the police have arrived simultaneously with Don, and as he begins to scan and sort problems, which included breaking up an altercation between Roger and one of the union people, they line up for rough roll call. It looks to me as though some of those officers with hair curling from under their caps could possibly have volunteered. The flaring tempers are to be expected, considering the importance attached to the show, and the general problems in relations of a group of freaks and union people...
Sophisticated new X rays can scan bags without damaging even a roll of film, but they cost $100,000 apiece. The more practical magnetometers, ranging from $800 up to $8,000, detect any kind of metal from a traveling clock to a bra's metal hooks and eyes, and bags would still have to be opened for complete examination. To do that with every piece of luggage going aboard a Boeing 747 would mean passenger check-ins hours earlier than at present. That would eliminate the speed and convenience which are any airline's selling points...
...pamphlets talk about rededicating ourselves to faith in America and in God, and claim that Wallace is the only candidate to sense the real feeling of the people: "He truly cares.

I can scan the report in as little as ten minutes and know more than if I had read the New York Times all the way through. I tell the staff to leave out the puff pieces and the personal criticism. I am an issue...
...originally entitled "Cease to Exist" which they changed to "Cease to Resist." And when Charlie began equipping the family's ranch for the "Black Panther" raids he chose to steal a telescope belonging to none other than Doris Day, (the mother of Manson's good friend Terry Melcher), to scan the horizon for the black faces that his twisted, racist mind felt sure would pop up any minute. He amused himself with a battalion of gun-mounted dune buggies (the modern Marlboro man's equivalent of horses), and a system of caches, escape routes, and telephone hookups. Of course there...
