...crowd forms a huge ring, and everyone sits down simultaneously on the player behind. Though "blob" and "lap" may seem like innocent cavorting, they are serious business to San Francisco's New Games Foundation. An offshoot of a 1973 New Games Tournament, staged by Whole Earth Catalog Creator Stewart Brand, the foundation is now a growing national enterprise. Its goal is nothing less than to change the way Americans play, mainly by replacing competitive games with cooperative "no win" pastimes...
Bonita wanted the plot to follow the pattern of the original, and anyone who saw that one might be excused for saying, "If you've seen one, you've seen them all." Crusty but kind James Stewart is raising his two orphaned grandchildren in postcard-pretty Northern California. "Oh, golly, gee, I love that home-town feeling," sings Gramps.

Only three Justices (Burger, Rehnquist and White) refused to give the press any kind of special access. Stewart argued that the press could bring along its tools of the trade, including cameras, on public tours. "In theory, the press may not have any more access than the public in Stewart's view," said Stanford's Gunther. "But practically, it does." Three Justices (Stevens, Brennan and Powell) argued that both press and public should have greater access...
