...school washrooms guarded by black toughs Detroit's Martin Luther King High School has a modern building, but the school is an island in the middle of a rotting ghetto. Heroin is openly dispensed from a "shooting gallery" a block away: drunks loll on the sidewalks, bottles of Thunderbird wine still in their hands...
...suit. Nobody wants one with narrow lapels. People who buy Valiants and Darts may buy a car just for transportation, but a person who spends $4,000 to $5,000 for a car wants to be different."

...Webb Corp., the Phoenix-based construction company, owns the Sahara and the Thunderbird among others; its casinos are thriving, though its stock has dropped from 23⅝ in 1969 to 10¼ last week. Contributing to the decline was a scandal that surfaced last month, when a Webb subsidiary sued the estate of a deceased Sahara official for $500,000 that he was alleged to have siphoned out of the casino. Investigations have uncovered evidence of blackmail and possibly murder...
