...dispute between Capitol Hill and the White House over education and health spending involved an assortment of programs varying in size and purpose. Items: IMPACT AID. The largest addition to the President's budget was made here. Begun in 1950, the impact aid program was designed to relieve the burden school districts bear when they must serve large numbers of children of federal employees. There are two classes of such aid: one for children whose parents-typically military families-live and work on a federal base and thus pay no local school taxes, another for children whose parents live...
Currently, Indians in New Mexico, Montana and California are locked in battles with various Government agencies for control of land and water. The Paiutes of western Nevada have watched their emerald-green Pyramid Lake, ancient source of their cutthroat trout, shrink to one-third its former size by various water-diversion projects. The lake's ecological balance has been destroyed, and most of the fish have died...
...Clear Answer. What makes the Panthers' case unusual is both the size of their bail and the vigor of their white lawyer, Gerald Lefcourt, who has worked indefatigably to have it reduced.

Lefcourt is now asking the Court to spell out its standards more clearly. In any case...
That, as Matthau now knows, was 1960s talk. Hollywood is at high noon. Stanley Jaffe has leapfrogged over Evans to become chief operating officer at Paramount. The high-priced stars are being cut down to size, and the masters of business administration are taking over the studios, or what is left of them. A new generation of film-company executives are suddenly trying to cope with economic realities that their fathers and uncles refused even to recognize. During the past few years, for example, 20th Century-Fox wasted a great deal of thought on whether and when to change...
...younger generation's fascination with films is Hollywood's greatest hope -and challenge. As in other aspects of life, the kids are demanding a new honesty in film-making that has nothing to do with the size of the budget. Michael Campus, 28, former director of specials at CBS, explains: "Young people are saying that it's a crime to spend $20 million on Paint Your Wagon. That amount could remake a city." Perhaps in getting right with the new audience, Hollywood will not only save its head, but its own soul...
