Independence, Mo., will not get a board to review the actions of its police department, and the citizens of Miami have gone on record as approving the sale of beer in the Orange Bowl. Small beer, perhaps, to everyone except imbibers in Miami, but some more momentous decisions were also made last week. The citizens of Pittsburgh voted 2 to 1 to relax pollution-control laws, hoping to open up new jobs in the beleaguered steel industry. And more than 3 million voters-a record number...
