...bulges with ads. But oh what readers! Each of the endorsers subscribes to the magazine he is hawking; however, not all were aware of the company that they would be keeping in the campaign. Yet at least one participant, Economist John Kenneth Galbraith, a fan of the liberal New York Review of Books, is unperturbed...
They seem adrift on a lazy summer outing, but Activists Bella Abzug and Gloria Steinem are actually firing some shots across someone else's bow. The two rented a rowboat in New York City's Central Park in order to dramatize, according to Mrs. Abzug, the fact "that while President Carter was showboating on the Mississippi, Americans were left up the creek in the fight against rising prices."

...They account for a third of the new series. California police, already glorified by NBC'S CHiPs, will now be featured in both ABC's 240-Robert (from the creator of CHiPs) and CBS's Paris (starring James Earl Jones).

In his stand-up act he functions as a bemused straight man, playing off the audience, and does not deliver a set routine. ABC would...
Anyone opening a new savings account has long had his pick of desk lamps, hair dryers or blenders, but the East New York Savings Bank is showing up the purveyors of discount detritus for the pikers they are. Full-page newspaper ads offered depositors something more than "a tacky little toaster" in return for $160,000 left on deposit for eight years -an $84,000 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow II. When the Desert Empire Bank of Cathedral City, Calif., tried the same gimmick in 1977 in return for a $ 1 million six-year deposit, it failed to find even...
