...euphemistically called-has led not merely to demonstrations, "blue flu" job actions and the threat of illegal strikes, but to fights over departmental policies. "Police union leaders have been attempting to invade what we chiefs have always considered management prerogatives," says Ed Davis, Los Angeles' tough top cop. Antonio Amador, president of L.A.'s Police Protective League, unapologetically pleads guilty: "I want to take away the right Chief Davis has to force my men to wear long-sleeved shirts when, goddammit, it's hot outside...
Indirectly, Kate depends for her motivation on the cruelties of Baptista, Bianca and Bianca's suitors. But the Winthrop House actors play these parts with such exaggerated gestures that their deeper intents are not even revealed, much less frightening.

Said Maria Huilera, a teacher from San Antonio: "He's working for the working people. He's not for big business." Others cited his newness, his fresh ideas and his desire to reduce unemployment...
...hurt and perplexed." The timing could hardly have been worse. Rosalynn Carter was scheduled to make campaign appearances with Lady Bird in Texas while her husband's L.B.J. remark was still on the air and in the headlines. Though Lady Bird was cool, she met Rosalynn in San Antonio and conducted her through the Johnson Library in Austin without so much as a mention of Playboy. At week's end, during an airport press conference in Houston, Carter tried to mollify L.B.J. admirers by explaining away his remarks as "an unfortunate juxtaposition of those two names [Johnson...
