...union's pension fund, and Dorfman prospered in the murky, billion-dollar swamp of Teamsters loans and land deals. A dapper dresser fond of a round of golf and the company of old cronies, he lived with his wife Lynn in a $750,000 home in the Chicago suburb of Riverwoods...
...Sidote suddenly confessed to the Chayo murder as well as to a similar 1965 slaying of a San Francisco hotel executive in the Lake Tahoe, Nev., area. Sidote implicated Foat, from whom he was divorced in the late 1960s, in both crimes. Remarried and living in a Los Angeles suburb, Foat was arrested for the first time on May 25, 1977, for the Nevada murder. At the trial in Carson City, however, Sidote abruptly refused to testify against Foat, and the judge released her for lack of evidence. Louisiana police promptly rebooked her as a suspect in the New Orleans...
Police showed up at a brick duplex at 5306 Nevada Avenue, in the affluent Chevy Chase suburb of Washington. Inside were 151 Ibs. of marijuana, worth about $500,000, stashed in 16 boxes.

Headquartered in a refurbished chocolate factory in the Boston suburb of Wellesley, Mass., Bricklin's firm, Software Arts, now has more than 80 employees, as many computer terminals as phones, and excellent prospects (1982's revenues of $7 million were al most double the previous year's). Bricklin and his partner, Frankston, are planning a host...
...vicarious strength watching Scarlett rebuild Tara, or Maria von Trapp spirit her brood out of Hitler's Austria, or Don Corleone take his cold-dish revenge. E.T. gives its viewers more, from less. Here is a fairy tale set in the most mundane of contemporary realities: a typical California suburb. The creature appears to his friend Elliott in a pizza-strewn back yard; he lives in a child's closet. As E.T. built his "phone home" device from old toys and household castaways, so Spielberg fashioned a dream world from the Formica-and-vinyl tatters of the American dream...
