Pennsylvania lawmakers face a listless 1978 session
Pennsylvania’s 203 House members and 50 Senate seats enter a re election year with many not seeking return engagements. The Shapp administration faces a slim majority and voter scrutiny, as debates over a graduated income tax, gasoline tax, school code revision, and fiscal 1978 79 budget loom. The legislature is described as a lame duck year with key issues clouded by elections and potential votes that could shift in the coming months.

Sam the East Side club boss who gave the people what they want
Sam ran a Broadway nightclub known for a three show nightly lineup, a gleaming chorus, a fading headliner, and a sharp comedian. He kept control with contempt for patrons and a business model built on fleecing crowds while donating to charities. He died at his desk amid ledgers, muttering there must be a better way.

Comment on America's Tourism Draw Amid Dollar Slump
Commentary notes that a weaker dollar boosts foreign visitors to the United States. Travel costs drop due to lower airfares and charters, making the U S a bargain. Visitor numbers rise from 10 million a decade earlier to 18.6 million in 1977, with Canadians and Mexicans largest, and Japanese and South Americans showing big gains. Europeans remain strong contributors, while profiles shift from affluent travelers to middle and blue collar group tours.
