Former Fannie Mae President Raymond Lapin, a prominent California Democrat who was ousted last year by President Nixon, concedes that the low margin requirement on the stock is "a weird arrangement." Still, Lapin maintains that Fannie Mae has become so vital to home building that "if it got into real trouble the Government would have to rush in and bail it out." Considering the increasing political importance of housing, Lapin is probably right. Compared with their chances for a quick killing, Fannie Mae stock speculators are exposed to minimal risk. At a time when Washington may be called...
...toughest part was living with Manson. Enraged when the judge called him "incompetent" to run his defense, and well aware that the climate against him was overwhelming, Manson weeks ago devised a weird ploy that no lawyer, even a bad one, could abide. The guru determined that the girls from his "family" should take the stand, sweetly confess all and say that he had nothing to do with it.

Shooting is scheduled to start in northern Wales next week with a script by Polanski, Tynan and Shakespeare, and a cast of unknowns, young enough to make the Weird Sisters not too unattractive with their clothes...
...WHITE has a rather strange mind. To a normal eight-year-old, he's just an exceptionally good author. But to someone older, who has never experienced the joy of Charlotte's Web or Stuart Little, he is, as a friend of mine said recently, "very weird." True, spiders don't usually weave slogans such as "Some Pig" into their webs to save pigs from being slaughtered; and human parents don't usually give birth to a son who looks exactly like a mouse. But none of that matters, because they're all very real, endearing characters with real problems...
