Some Administration aides insist that Lance's support in the business community remains strong. Yet the Wall Street Journal last week declared that Lance's effectiveness as budget director has probably been destroyed, and Business Week called for his resignation; so did the Los Angeles Times. White House Press Secretary Jody Powell worked overtime to blunt the criticism. He announced, for example, that Carter would pay $1,793.70 for five flights he took in 1975 and 1976 on a plane belonging to one of the banks that Lance formerly ran, the National Bank of Georgia...
...Anita Bryant's forces won in Dade County, Fla., downcast gays publicly fretted that violence would soon be coming. Violence seems to be coming, all right, but not from straights.

It shows greater promise than many previously acclaimed anti-ulcer drugs because it works by a different mechanism. Cimetidine reduces acid production in the stomach wall, allowing the ulcers to heal...
...occupied mainly by Hispanics and blacks. But Berkowitz's apartment was a mess, furnished with little more than a low mattress. The windows were covered by sheets to keep neighbors from seeing in. Pornographic magazines were strewn near the bed. One large hole had been knocked in a wall, with an arrow pointing to it and a puzzling hand-printed message: "Hi. My name is Mr. Williams, and I live in this hole." Also on the wall was another irrational declaration: "I have several children who I'm turning into killers. Wait til they grow...
