...weeks and produced more than 2,600 arrests. But the opening of the Buffalo campaign drew only 300 members to the area -- a battalion whose weakness led at least one leader to resort to sophistry. The women who kept their appointments at the clinics, said the Rev. Robert Schenck, were "no one of any consequence, I can assure you." By midweek, Buffalo's anti-abortion rights mayor, James Griffin, was backpedaling. After offering the group his "open arms" last October, he insisted last week that the gesture had not been "a formal welcome...

Died. Nicholas Schenck, 87, an old-style movie mogul who helped found Loew's Inc. and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer; of a stroke; in Miami Beach. Schenck's life was a Hollywood cliche in itself. The son of poor Russian immigrants, he scraped for nickels and dimes on Manhattan's Lower East Side, invested in beer concessions and amusement parks, finally in 1919 had enough of a stake to join Marcus Loew in founding the movie-house chain that spread across the U.S. MGM studios followed in 1924, and Schenck, armed with such stars as Clark Gable, Jean...
