...titled NFD Informer. On the basis of last fall's programs, Revlon was declared the "least constructive" sponsor, followed by Dow Chemical, Noxell, Gulf + Western and the Beecham Group. Some of the "least constructive" shows have already been canceled because of low ratings, but among those returning are Taxi, Three's Company, Laverne & Shirley and The Dukes of Hazzard. Wildmon will do more than name offending shows, however. Some of the companies that pay for the most advertising on them will be singled out on a kind of hit list, and consumers will be urged to boycott their...
Though he does not enjoy the Paris cocktail-party circuit, Mitterrand likes to dine with such old Socialist comrades as Claude Estier, Louis Mermaz and Pierre Joxe.

In Scotland, a taxi driver, trapped by snow, burned half a tank of gas just to keep his cab warm, while he waited for assistance. Five schoolboys out on an endurance test were rescued after two nights on storm-swept Dartmoor; a medium had told police where to look. Horse racing, cricket and soccer...
...Queen Mary, in a huge geodesic dome at Long Beach. That sounds fine, a dignified last berth for a plane too noble to break up for scrap. But here is what tickles the short hairs on the back of the neck: some time this summer, Wrather executives plan to taxi the Goose, under its own mighty power, to the dome site. The pilot in charge will have strict instructions, of course; threats and thunderations even; but who's to stop him-how could he stop himself-from revving up those monstrous old engines, easing back on the controls...
