...self-evident. Cuomo intends to play a major role in the Presidential race, if not as the vice-presidential nominee, then as a campaign Svengali. And because the words in these pages are so loaded with a spirit of certitude, the diary is both fascinating and disappointing as a blueprint for action by one of the country's most promising liberal pols. If one manages to wade through pages of irrelevant detail--lots of short, simple sentences, topped off by the gee-whiz exclamation point--one will find a clearer definition of the Democratic raison d'etre than any offered...

At the Council, they point to the Dowling Report of 1981, which drew up the blueprint for the present Undergraduate Council.

The trouble stems from the crude truncation of a script that began many years ago as blueprint for a two-part David Lean epic. Originally the idea must have been to free the story of its mythical and melodramatic encrustations and get at something like the historical truth. The finished film offers fragmentary evidence of an attempt to show Bligh, not Christian, as the liberal spirit...
...school-desegregation plan for Bakersfield, Calif., that does not include forced busing but instead relies on the creation of four elementary magnet schools to win the voluntary cooperation of the city's white parents. Says William Bradford Reynolds, Assistant Attorney General for civil rights: "This is a blueprint for school desegregation in the future without relying on mandatory busing, which does not work in a very meaningful...
