Franklin Pollard, 45, First Baptist Church of Jackson, Miss. Pollard is very much in the evangelistic mainstream as preacher in a big church in the Southern Baptist Convention, the nation's biggest denomination. He was raised in a Texas shack, one of seven children of a poor oilfield worker. "We had three rooms and a path," he likes to say of the primitive conditions in his childhood. But though he has a ready supply of down-home anecdotes, he shuns the kind of cornpone and bombast sometimes associated with evangelical pulpits. Pollard commands attention instead with infectious charm...
Next morning, Gargan and Markham joined Kennedy at the inn. They returned to Chappaquiddick at about 9 a.m. and entered a shack near the ferry slip, where Kennedy tried in vain to phone a family friend, Attorney Burke Marshall. At that point, Ferryman Richard Hewitt asked if they knew about the wrecked car, which had been discovered by some fishermen. Hewitt later testified that Markham replied, "Yes. We just heard about it." Only then did Kennedy go to the police station and report the accident...
Although some 50 firms are in the personal computer field, it is dominated by three: Apple, Radio Shack and Commodore.

...Shack's proprietor is hefty, fortyish Dana Montana, who at 23 lost her job as a Playboy Bunny because she was considered too old and haggard. For ten years Montana ran the Shack as a desultory go-go spot for males. Then in 1976 she decided to try exotic male dancers, insisting on a "classy, sophisticated, macho" program that would appeal strongly to women but would discourage gay customers. She has succeeded: the current stage show appears to strike the right sensual chords for women of all ages but attracts few male patrons. The revue also hits the right...
Just as successful-if slightly more circumspect-is the Pit Stop Lounge in Coldwater, Mich., some 100 miles west of Detroit. Like the Sugar Shack, this establishment is owned by a woman-a former bank clerk named Glenda Brewer-but here male customers are banned from the club during the two-hour show. What they miss is a group of dancers called Fast Freddy and the Playboys, who strip down to bikini briefs and then swivel through the throng, always staying slightly clad and out of reach. "I think they're terrific," says Kay Love, 45, a factory worker...
