...friend of the military, Stennis was guest of honor at a reception given by the National Guard Association one night last week. Afterward, he drove his 1973 Buick sedan back to his $50,000 two-story brick home in one of Washington's better residential districts. Lined with tall ginkgo trees but lit by only the pale yellow glow of corner street lights, the Northwest Washington neighborhood has known little crime...
...week's first victim was James Trainor, 22, a mechanic in a service station just off the motorway. Trainor apparently recognized the two men who drove up to his gasoline pump in a green sedan; he was hit by a fusillade of bullets as he tried to escape them. Peter Watterson, 15, was sprayed with automatic fire from a car as he stood in the doorway of his mother's candy store. Next morning, Francis Smith, 28, a former Catholic who had joined the U.D.A., was found face down in an alley near his home. The I.R.A. said...
...reigning Agnellis are as dissimilar in style as an 850 Sport Spider and a 128 family sedan. The 51-year-old Gianni, jet-setting celebrity and voluble charmer, is characteristically energetic and impatient.

At Dublin's central police station, they demanded that he explain his connection with the illegal Irish Republican Army. Sean MacStiofáin, 44, chief of staff of the I.R.A.'s militant "Provisional" wing, replied, "Tada" (Nothing to say). The dramatic arrest marked the strongest action yet taken...
...Glad bags and Colgate-Palmolive's Baggies. Bisodol commercials trumpet its stomach-soothing effectiveness over Turns and Rolaids. A Beech-Nut gum ad stresses that each pack contains eight sticks and displays a Wrigley pack, which has only seven. A plug for a Volkswagen Type III sedan insists that it has just as much in its compact as Maverick, Toyota or Datsun. The idea is infectious. Lincoln Continental commercials refer only to "that other American luxury car," but the ad agency, Kenyon & Eckhardt, is studying the possibility of naming Cadillac. Says K. & E. Chairman Stanley Tannenbaum of name naming...
