Editorials on Time expose Irving and Hughes
The piece argues Clifford Irving earned $700,000 by pursuing a Howard Hughes tale, using a Time bungle as proof of his devotion. It mocks Hughes as unexciting and notes Irving cited a manuscript by James Phelan. If true, Irving would be a master of boredom, while Time labels him con man of the year.

SCAG Reorganization Debate Struggles With Governance
The Los Angeles City Council debates a stand on SCAG reorganization while most officials admit they lack understanding of SCAG. The County Board of Supervisors did not vote on its fate, yet SCAG asked the Legislature to reorganize, gain status, tax property transfers, and pay $50 per meeting. Critics say elected officials rarely engage in regional matters and may pursue local politics, with northern Bay Area models offering uncertain lessons. The piece urges a broader, more direct regional government plan rather than SCAG’s proposed structure, leaving major questions to the Legislature.
