...disparity between the way the whites and blacks live that makes South Africa so jarring, I suppose. The difference between the comfortable suburbs and the shanty towns exists in many countries; there is a big difference between Chevy Chase and Washington's inner city, too. But elsewhere it is not enforced by law, and elsewhere, the affluent society would have some awareness of how the other three-quarters live. Whites need a special permit to visit black townships, for instance, just as blacks need passes to go into white areas. And elsewhere, the system is not so all-inclusive...
Though banks in most states are still not authorized to offer NOW accounts, they will spread to the New York State market soon, as a result of an amendment that was unexpectedly passed in the hectic last days of the 95th Congress. Consequently, Citibank and Chase Manhattan have scrapped plans to offer PATS in favor of NOWs, and Chemical Bank and Manufacturers Hanover, which introduced PATS last week, plan to switch soon.

He is now pleading for contributions to finance a last-minute TV blitz that he hopes will chase away the incumbency blues and turn the election around...

Inflation may be rampant, but charging $3 for a House show is absurd and almost menacing--sort of like Chase Manhattan raising the prime lending rate to 15 per cent overnight. And the schedule, which calls for two shows on one night for each of the three-week run, is almost as bad as asking a pitcher to start both ends of a doubleheader. The show runs a whopping two hours and forty-five minutes, and asking any cast...
