...militant Loyalists. Convinced that the new assembly represents a British sellout of Protestant Ulster-men, the Loyalists are determined to make it fail. Speaking from the back of a Union Jack-draped truck in Portadown last week, King Billy Craig declared: "For four years now, we have had defeat after defeat, humiliation after humiliation. The only thing that is really left to lose is Ulster itself." Faulkner, in turn, has attacked the Loyalist leaders for consorting with the extremist paramilitary Ulster Defense Association. Craig and Paisley, he says, have "bloodstains on their joint program...

This year Richard Petty reaped a reported $500,000 for agreeing to paint the sides of his car STP red. Not a total sellout, he insisted that the top remain Petty blue...
Petty, starting in the No. 2 slot, challenges Allison on the very first turn of the five-eighths-of-a-mile course.

Would he rather be Man of the Year than Person of the Year? Replied Lemmon: "...I'm glad to be anything!" Steinem was somewhat more partisan. Accepting an award...
...While a sellout throng of 80,010 cheered the Miami Dolphins to a 20-14 victory over the Cleveland Browns in Miami's Orange Bowl last week, hundreds of other fans were enjoying the game on color TV in the ten-story Marriott Motel just two miles from the stadium. The motel management had evaded the National Football League's TV blackout in cities where games are being played by erecting a high-sensitivity parabolic antenna that picked up the telecast of the Dolphin game from a TV station in Fort Myers, 149 miles away.
