...White House press corps, by and large, was not. Cousin Hugh Carter, who had just published a gossipy little book called Cousin Beedie and Cousin Hot, which prompted Billy to describe Hugh as "a self-made son of a bitch," was in San Francisco. And where was Sister Gloria, who prefers to march to her own drummer? Billy exhaled some cigarette smoke, sucked on his beer can and said, "How do I know? You know I haven't spoken to Gloria in 2½ years...
When David Berkowitz stood before Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice Joseph Corso three weeks ago, he admitted that he, acting as "Son of Sam," had terrorized New York City in a long series of killings with his .44-cal. revolver. The former mail clerk appeared so placid and reasonable that the judge agreed with a panel of psychiatrists and found him mentally competent to stand trial. Berkowitz then pleaded guilty to the murder of Stacy Moskowitz, 20, and to five more counts of second-degree murder. This flat and anticlimactic appearance in court was entirely free of the seemingly psychotic rantings...
Last week, as Berkowitz returned to court to be sentenced, it was Son of Sam's turn to put in an appearance. In a packed courtroom sat Stacy Moskowitz's mother and Robert Violante, Stacy's date the night of the murder, who is partly blind from the gunshot wounds he received.

He was never a popular leader, but he towered above his colleagues as a magnificent orator and consummate politician. Nevertheless, his first term as Prime Minister, from 1939 to 1941, ended with a sweeping victory for the Labor Party. He made...
When Dantzic acquired his Cirkut, it took him months to repair it and learn to use it, as well as to find the right film (from Kodak at $30 a one-shot roll). Last summer he set out in a rented Dodge van with his wife Cynthia and their son Gray, 10, to cover 30 states in 100 carefully planned days. Most often people were friendly and helpful. In Butte, Mont., a supervisor led the Dantzics around a mine for two days to find the right vantage point; in San Antonio a cop held up traffic while they took...
