...self-help idea has spread to 600 other prisoners who have enrolled in service organizations that are part of Warden Patterson's rehabilitation program. Among the clubs is an authorized chapter of the Junior Chamber of Commerce, which this fall is sponsoring a charity football game between the prison team-the "Rockbusters" and the semipro Colorado Colts. The proceeds will go to a parolees' halfway house and a judge's youth program. The convicts have become so respectable that last summer they were invited to the Colorado state fair where about 70 of them set up their...

Warden Patterson says that it is too early to tell whether his program has really changed the inmates. But he does give the men credit for sincerity.

...Hand Clapping. Even at its best, the show proves not that computers can make art, but that humans are more essential than ever.

In pursuit of a solution, CBS last week presented its own television version of a newsmagazine, a biweekly program called 60 Minutes (Tuesday...
Moving Along. For Boeing, which has recently run into some embarrassing design reversals in its supersonic-transport program, the 747 is moving along at a gratifying pace. In the 30 months since Chairman (then president) William M. Allen determined to go ahead with the project, Boeing has raised about $1 billion in financing. It has ordered components from 1,500 prime suppliers, cleared a forest near Everett, constructed a $200 million manufacturing and assembly complex and sold 158 of the $20 million planes to 26 airlines. Along the way, Boeing engineers had to lick serious weight problems that threatened...
