...black men armed with shotgun and pistol shot up a white working-class bar in Paterson, N.J., killing the bartender and two of three customers. A witness identified a white Dodge as looking like the getaway car, and a search of it turned up a bullet and shotgun shell. Carter and Artis were in the car, but it was not until four months later that they were charged with the murders. That was when two petty thieves-Alfred Bello and Arthur Bradley-claimed that while trying to break into a nearby factory, they had seen Carter and Artis flee...

Mobil and Chevron−that import heavily from Saudi Arabia will be able to undersell such other producers as Shell, British Petroleum and Compagnie Française des Petroles, which rely more heavily on the higher-priced OPEC states.

A politician with money can pay for more advertising, better ad agencies, more frequent polling, and more telephones, cars and, in general, shell out more "walking around money" to build his field organization. And if he doesn't have the brains to take advantage of all the advantages money can buy, he can hire himself a top-notch political consultant who does to run his campaign. Although big spenders are not unbeatable, their...
