Cutting Costs. At Williamsburg, attendance seems to be rising now after a disastrous first quarter of 1977. But the price of an adult admission ticket is only $6.50, and it costs the foundation about $8 more to shepherd a visitor through. So the foundation is seeking new ways to cut costs and raise money. It is building a more centrally located visitor center to slash its gas bills by two-thirds, and for the first time is bidding for group tours to save on expenses for bus fuel and guides. Guests checking into Colonial Williamsburg hotels are now greeted...
...night of Sept. 27, 1972, Bobby Lowe was walking his German shepherd named Ginger in front of his home on Chicago's west side. Lowe noticed William Logan, a neighbor who was a Teamster steward, strolling to his car at the curb. As Lowe vividly recalled the scene in courtroom testimony, an auto suddenly pulled up. Shots rang out, and "Mr. Logan flew back ... into some bushes." Next, said Lowe, a man sprang out of the car, apparently carrying a handgun, and walked up to Logan. Just then, Ginger lunged at the stranger. Lowe said that he grabbed...
...their own good. The reason, explained San Antonio Vet Oscar Woytek, is that Americans tend to feed their animals, especially dogs, the same high-quality, cooked table meats with which they gorge themselves. That not only adds beastly pounds, but hurts the animal in other ways.

It is far better, says A.A.H.A. President Warren Walker, to give dogs uncooked shank or knuckle...
...more attention to means than ends," Desai says. "I would not give up truth to save the world." Once, when TIME Correspondent James Shepherd asked him why he always seemed so sure of his own infallibility, Desai replied calmly, "Because I'm an instrument of God." Friends say he has considerably mellowed with age and from his recent period in prison, where he passed the time peacefully spinning yarn, memorizing the Bhagavad-Gita, updating his autobiography and writing about natural medicine...
Mended Ways. But to enforce the law on the first day the Coast Guard could field only 19 ships and 17 planes-all that were available. TIME Correspondent James Shepherd, aboard one of the first-day flights, saw a Russian fleet fishing as usual-but now with U.S. license-about 80 miles off Long Island. He reported: "With their dingy, rust-splotched hulls, the eleven trawlers, floating Stakhanovites fishing for hake, looked like dungareed boilermakers next to the five pirouetting Coast Guard cutters near by. The first day passed off peaceably, as has generally been the case since the Russians...
