...conversation is still vivid in my mind today: He was polite, relaxed, attentive and unhostile. He nodded, reflected, took off his spectacles, put hand to chin and studied me a while, knocked out his pipe-ash on the round cork knob within the center of a pewter bowl, looked out the window with a weary sense of aging decency, pressed thumb and finger to his brow in old and practiced sense of sorrowful exhaustion. He said to me this: "Of course it's so of course it's not correct. It isn't right for some of us here...
Willing to Wait. Although no position papers are available, it can be assumed that the conscientious Governor put as much thought into his separation as he does into complex legislation at the State House. It was no overnight decision. He has known the comely, ash blonde, 36-year-old Jeanne Dorsey for ten years; she divorced her husband, a former state senator, in 1969.

...Gray has not slackened his pace a bit since he left Litton in 1971, when it appeared that he would have to wait too long for Chairman Tex Thornton and then President Roy Ash to step down.

To the east is Alameda Street, the border of Watts, and there are railroad tracks on Alameda, so that when you cross them you know you are entering a different world. In back of Jordan and extending around it in an L-shape is the steel factory. It has been there for 20 years, the smoke...
...site itself consists of an unusually broad expanse of empty land near the heart of metropolitan Boston. A few lone buildings await the bulldozer on the Triangle, which is currently covered by sterile ash-grey dirt, beer cans, auto parts, and other debris. The area has the appearance of being recently bombed out. The suggestion, seriously presented to the City council two months ago, that "victory gardens" be planted on the site while the land lies fallow, seems less than ludicrous...
