His aides had to brush off the confetti as he pulled up at the city hall for the Marseillaise and a word from Mayor George Christopher. Returning from a chilly tour of San Francisco Bay aboard a Coast Guard gunboat, he was greeted by nine-year-old Brownie Scout Dara Woods, her bare knees knocking...

Chief Psychiatrist Knut H. Houck uses a variety of tranquilizing drugs for agitated patients and psychic energizers for the depressed...
...couple of well-heeled outlanders have recently edged into the territory the Times considers its own. In February, the Cowles organization moved west with the purchase by the Minneapolis Star and Tribune of the suburban San Fernando Valley Times (circ. 50,190).
