Through the great bronze doors that tell the story of Columbus, appeared the President-elect leaning on the arm of his son James. From the door to the platform had been built a special ramp, carpeted in maroon. Down this he shuffled slowly while the crowd cheered and the Marine Band played "Hail to the Chief...
...trick on a bunch of Chinese by arranging to ferry them over from Cuba to the Keys, accepts their money, then kills their leader and abandons the rest. Then his luck turns bad. A flier at rum-running results in the confiscation of his boat, the loss of an arm. So the way is paved to the last, most desperate venture of all-an attempt to provide a getaway, in a borrowed boat, for a quartet of bank robbers fleeing from a hold-up at Key West.

...predecessors. That effort struck pay dirt with the release last week of a preliminary report from the General Accounting Office, alleging that some former Legal Services officials and grant recipients violated LSC's prohibition on using funds for political organizing. The GAO, which is the investigative arm of Congress, based its 16-page report principally on a January 1981 meeting in Boulder, Colo., attended by top Legal Services officials. The report notes that Alan Houseman, then head of LSC'S research institute, along with other speakers, advocated a massive lobbying effort to save Legal Services...
