That's My Line is about as similar to What's My Line as a French poodle is to French bread: the names have a lot in common, but the things they describe do not. That's My Line is a prime-time "reality" program; What's My Line was a game show. And CBS has ordered this "fizzled" show as a new prime-time series, to begin shortly before Christmas...
What do all the changes mean for the Reagan legislative program? Until the new President sets out a specific list of priorities, and the details of bills begin to emerge, it will be difficult to tell. Reagan has vowed to keep his list of legislative desires spare and his program simple. He seems certain to seek and is likely to get a substantial tax cut, sharp increases in military spending and progress toward deregulation of business and the elimination of needless bureaucratic rules. The mechanism that Reagan may try to use is the passage of "sunset laws" killing regulations unless...
Local authorities are taking a host of emergency measures to combat crime. The Miami city commission has budgeted $100,000 for an advertising program to attract 150 new police recruits.

Even if those ambitions are not realized, Voyager 1's conquest of Saturn is already providing an unexpectedly rich scientific payoff from the $500 million program. Almost as soon as the spacecraft began closing on the Saturnian system, the pace of discovery accelerated dramatically. As early as last August, Voyager 1's cameras picked up a red spot in Saturn's southern hemisphere. Another one soon showed in the northern hemisphere. Though these features remind scientists of Jupiter's Great Red Spot, a great whirling storm that has lasted for at least three centuries, Saturn...
