...cannot understand how anyone could give Viva Italia! a favorable review. Now, your run-of-the-mill jerk armed with a typewriter might praise anything, seemingly at random--but when some of your big names, like, for example, Vincent Canby, give a film a good review, you usually figure it must have something going for it. Viva Italia! might, indeed, have something going for it, but other than a few good sequences, I couldn't possibly find them. This ostensible comedy is the worst, most offensive legitimate film I have seen in a long time I can only repeat what...
MOVE can be traced back to 1971, when Vincent Leaphart, a black handyman, took the name of John Africa and established the Movement Toward a More Christian Life, an antitechnology group, which is dedicated to giving America back to the Indians and abolishing all governments "from here to Moscow and Peking." His followers, most of them black, all adopted the surname Africa, bought the house for $4,800 and moved in with their children and dogs...
Walvis Bay residents wish the desert could provide them with a living as well. Says Paul Vincent, editor of the local Namib Times: "Think how rich we could be if we could get into the business of exporting sand."

...General Services Administration has been plagued by 25 years of bad habits, and we're undoing them." So declares Vincent Alto, the GSA's special counsel, who since May has been investigating charges of theft, kickbacks and mismanagement by agency employees that are costing the Government at least $166 million a year. Alto's probe is expected to produce within a few weeks indictments against scores of GSA employees and Government suppliers. Last week the investigation won the strong backing of Jimmy Carter and led to the firing of Robert Griffin, 61, the agency's No. 2 executive...
...told the bureau all about Big Tuna's vengeance, saying there had actually been six slayings. The other two, which police at first did not think fit the pattern, took place in February, when Vincent Moretti, 52, a Mob fence and loan collector, and a friend, Donald Renno, 31, were found stabbed to death in a car parked behind a tavern in suburban Stickney. Almost all of Moretti's ribs had been broken. According to police, Moretti was killed because he had not told Mob bosses when the gang asked him to fence the loot...
