Carrington's plan is likely to meet strong objections from both sides. The Patriotic Front has thus far insisted on sharing power with Muzorewa and the British during the interim period and merging its armies with the Salisbury security forces. Muzorewa, on the other hand, may balk at the idea of abandoning all authority during the interim period. Hard-lining Rhodesian whites, led by former Prime Minister Ian Smith, can be expected to offer stiff resistance to a settlement that strips them of most of their remaining power...
...EXUBERANCE IS BEAUTY," William Blake wrote, but he might balk today if he saw Joey Ramone. The funniest line of this movie belongs to a Ramones groupie--"I love Joey Ramone because he's so handsome...." Yet exuberant the Ramones are, and you'd expect them to make a movie the way they write a song--with good spirits, no subtlety and a lot of loud pounding.

We shall not balk at dying by the thousands in a war imposed on us by imperialism and its local agents, the reactionaries...
...courts all over the country. By reading their own views into broadly worded statutes and vaguely defined constitutional rights, judges have assumed?some say usurped?unaccustomed roles. Increasingly, judges, state and federal, can be found ordering government boards and agencies to obey the law. When the boards balk, as they often do, judges end up running school boards, welfare agencies, mental hospitals and prisons. Just last month, for instance, a Boston judge placed 67 public housing projects into receivership under court control because they had been mismanaged by the Boston housing authority. Such decisions often require judges to rule...
