...your new Chris-Craft, your yacht, your boat, on the sea of life." Soon after he announced in a direct mail letter that "Tammy and I are giving every penny of our life's savings to PTL." Bakker bought a $24,000 Drifter houseboat with white shag carpeting, two wood paneled bedrooms, TV, gas grill, and refrigerator.

Last week a unanimous Supreme Court agreed with Allied that the I.L.A. had engaged in a boycott that was illegal under federal labor laws designed "to protect neutral parties, the helpless victims of quarrels that do not concern them at all." Allied had been hurt...
...Fairs. The first of these was held in 1851 in London, where 14,000 exhibitors displayed the wonders of a new industrial age. The greatest wonder of all was the Crystal Palace. Designed by Joseph Paxton, the palace introduced a new prefabricated architecture of glass, iron and wood...
