Grandma keeps pumping gas at 83 in Nebraska
Sylvia Mickey, 83, runs a two-pump gas station in Gresham, Nebraska, working about 15 hours daily under her son Lester. She began working while raising children, once handled periodical subscriptions, and helped in chicken selling before taking over the farm after her husband died in 1950. Now at 74 she bought the station and avoids heavy tire work, taking a daily hour-long nap.

IRS probes alleged gratuities from Gulf Oil to auditors as part of a broader review of Gulf's taxes and political contributions. Sources say 20 Pittsburgh IRS auditors were questioned about liquor dinners golf trips and other gifts from Gulf while examining the company's tax reports. The probe follows reports of Gulf’s secret political spending and a 300 page committee report on contributions from 1960 to 1973. If convicted, gifts to auditors could bring up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
