...passengers climb aboard, the driver collects their $65 balance. In cash. "Travelers checks are too hard to handle," the voice on the phone had said. Only 20 people get on; the rest are waving goodbye. Instead of regular rows of seats two sofas face the aisle up front. Beyond that, amidships, is a card table, one side supported by a length of nylon rope tied to a metal ceiling rack. A long, cushioned sleeping platform, raised about 2 ft. off the floor, fills the whole rear half of the bus. The ponytailed bus driver (there are two drivers aboard) tells...
...last November, Thelma outdid herself. She had watched restlessly as Governor Carroll, a Presbyterian lay preacher and political gadfly, proved so prone to travel that he became known as "the Flying Deacon." She also felt he had failed to provide solid leadership on tax cuts over Kentucky's ineffective legislature, which meets only 60 days every two years. When the legislature left Frankfort without doing anything to soothe the state's increasingly irate taxpayers, Thelma started watching the Governor's schedule. Aha, she spotted a trip.

...Twelve thousand black and white Rhodesians have been killed in six years of fighting; of those, 500 died last month alone, making January the third worst month for casualties since the war began.

Contending that it has served its purpose and that U.S. airlines, hotel chains and individual states should carry the load, OMB wants to stop all money. Commerce Secretary Juanita Kreps disagrees, and Hawaii's Senator Daniel Inouye promises a fight to continue the service...
...whose 40-year-old secretary wed Herbert Armstrong in April 1977, may have reaped the profit from the $1.8 million sale of his Beverly Hills estate, which allegedly was maintained at church expense. The suit also raises questions about Rader's financial involvement in an ad agency, a travel agency and a book-publishing firm that sell services to the church. At a receivership hearing in Los Angeles last week, Rader won the right to look at his records -but only with the permission of a court-appointed official. Says Deputy State Attorney General Lawrence Tapper...
