...tenets of local boosterism. A tremendous amount of entrepreneurial effort is harnessed to the expectation of an ever-expanding population, with more customers for business. Yet in some circumstances, the best way to keep localities attractive would be to restrain population growth. Another way would be to alter local tax policies. Since most communities depend chiefly on real estate taxes for their revenues, their leaders often woo development that tears up the landscape while producing congestion and other social ills.

...roof. It was a rich experience." In 1967, the mother superior of the Glenmary Sisters of Cincinnati led 44 of her nuns out of the small, rural-oriented order. The situation was a prototype of the Immaculate Heart dispute: a progressive faced the opposition of an archbishop (Karl Alter of Cincinnati, now retired) who felt that things were moving too fast.

They could also, by inadvertence or otherwise, upset that strained but saving equilibrium...
...always, Rusk has maintained his calm. "I'm just chuckling these days and leaving it all to them," he says. This time, he may well get the last chuckle. Governor Lester Maddox, who has been bitingly critical of Rusk, cannot legally alter the makeup of the board of regents with new appointments until after the first of the year. The board's moderates, who constitute a majority, were not planning to wait. They scheduled a special meeting for this week, intending to approve Rusk's appointment...
