...notice the date. The end of the war meant trouble for the News. Those outer borough families which could moved to the suburbs, where several dailies--particularly Long Island's Newsday--sprung up to serve them. Further, the expatriates were replaced mostly by Blacks and Hispanics, to whom the News did not appeal nearly as much. Or they were not replaced at all; the population of New York has declined by more than a million since its peak after...
...charts and the numbers to prove that his plan was the best--indeed, the only--way to proceed.

Organizers. "Red Ted" Knight, an avowed Marxist and mentor to the Greater London Council's Ken Livingstone, is head of London's Lambeth borough council. He loudly protested police action during the riots, mostly by blacks, in Lambeth's Brixton section in April. Said he: "Lambeth is now under an army of occupation. Steps are being taken by the police to set up the same apparatus of surveillance as one sees in concentration camps." A fastidious dresser who drives a BMW, Knight is an unlikely looking street radical, but it is from the pavements that he draws...
