EVEN though we stood in the shadows of the city jail, it quickly became evident that this was no ordinary prison. Gamboling over the grass of the 2,500-sq.-yd. enclosure were hundreds of protesters crying, "Welcome, brothers and sisters!" to one another. Said one prisoner, rubbing the tear gas from his eyes: "This isn't a jail! This is a goddam party!" So it seemed. Indeed, there was more petulance than anger. Moaned one youngster, as he was pulled into the compound: "I mean, I was going to be guilty, but they busted me before I even...
Canyonized City. Despite the recent moves of several major corporations out of New York (TIME, April 26), Helmsley is convinced that his native city is still a good investment; he currently has interests in newly rising buildings that will add 3,300,000 sq. ft. of office space to the canyonized city.

As the only full-time physician in a 500-sq.-mi. area, Henry was so overworked that he seldom read a medical journal and never had a vacation. But last year the doctor got expert help from Carl Chillquist, a former Army medic. As Henry's paraprofessional aide, Chillquist enabled the doctor to see many more patients, skim those journals, and even get away for skiing and fishing. In recent years, Twisp itself has never...
...gouging up the mineral mainly to fuel new power generating plants. Reclamation efforts are officially described as "behind schedule." More huge reserves will be tapped in Montana, Utah and Wyoming. Even the landowners who stand to gain the most from sale of their property fear the result: 42,000 sq. mi. of land-an area larger than Ohio-might be turned into a sterile wasteland...
