...what they wanted from Lindsay, even though they never learned to like him. By the time he left office in 1974, the unions had won wages and benefits that largely outstripped any others in public employment in the country. After three years on the job, a New York City cop is scheduled to earn $17,458 a year and a sanitation man $15,731. A full professor in the city university makes from $24,000 to $38,000 a year; a teacher in the secondary-school system receives an annual salary ranging from $9,700 to $20,350. Teachers earn...

W.W. has no difficulty persuading the law that he is the group's manager. He goes on to convince the group that if he actually took over for them, fame and fortune-or at least a shot...
...promising idea: John Wayne as a Chicago cop in London to extradite a big-time gang leader who has fled his jurisdiction. The comic possibilities of watching Big John do his bullish best to get his man, while tiptoeing through the tea-cozy minefield of British decorum, seem endless. Any American who has tried to take lunch at a club in St. James's without seeming to be an absolute plonk in the headwaiter's eye will appreciate Wayne's problem -and perhaps look forward to seeing an exasperated Duke put an end to all that social...
