...Tuscola station is merely one of the latest converts to the "all news" format, a music-free marathon of news, sports, weather and feature programs that has become the hottest formula in radio. Pioneered in 1961 by XTRA, a station in Tijuana, Mexico, that beamed its signal to Southern California, all-news had until last week been adopted by fewer than 20 of the nation's 7,140 AM and FM outlets. But those form an elite group: New York City's WCBS, the nation's most listened to station; KNX in Los Angeles, which has climbed...

Instead of a skeleton crew of disc jockeys and rip-and-read announcers, an all-news station typically has platoons of street reporters, anchor persons, helicopter-borne traffic spotters, weather analysts, consumer reporters, writers, editors, directors and producers. New York's WCBS, for example, has 60 editorial employees, nearly three times its pre-all-news complement, and Chicago's WBBM went from 32 staffers to 64 when it made the switch in 1968.

Many of the elderly with more money prefer plusher living. An estimated 500,000 have bought or leased property in the "adult" or "retirement" communities that have mushroomed round the country, primarily in Florida and the Southwest, where the weather is warm and the cost of living relatively low. Most of these "villages," "cities" and "worlds" follow the lead of Arizona's Sun City (pop. 34,000) and exclude younger people; no one under 50 can buy or lease property there. Some residents like the segregation practiced in the gerontopolises, but the majority are more interested in the amenities...
