...Utica Avenue in Brooklyn, Ernie Blye, a black man, stayed at his tailor shop all night long, grasping a gun, his German shepherd at his heels. A gang of men began to menace him. He cried out: "If you shoot me, my dog will get you!" They closed in relentlessly. Blye shouted again: "I got ten cans of potash upstairs! I'm goin' upstairs now! I blind you, you come up the stairs after me! I blind you!" The crowd left him alone...
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 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...
