...Coach" is now the UFW slogan being publicized in 11 boycott cities across the nation. Critics of the union claim that Chavez is going to have quite a struggle this time around convincing the American public to make any type of sacrifice (however minimal). After all, this is the "Age of Apathy," and the "Me Generation." These critics however, are silenced by proof that a consumer boycott can be successful in 1979. In the Boston area alone, five out of six super-markets agreed to honor the boycott of Red Coach lettuce. Purity Supreme, Demulas, Fernandez, Capital and Angelo...

It focuses the attention, the publicity, in such a special way. You're so much in the spotlight, and your science suffers correspondingly." But Glashow, while feeling the immediate pressures of the prize and the extent to which they impinge on his study, does...
...course is that this time Joe Timilty's neck is really on the line. Timilty has a lot more to lose than another election and the $25,000 loan he took out before the preliminary. If the state senator is relatively young in years, he's twice his age in political saleability and getting older each time he runs. If there was little personal animosity between the two perennial opponents the first time they played this show, there's a whole lot now. Like Peter the Great in Sweden, Joe Timilty has regrouped and come back to take...
