Rizzo's most recent trouble began in March with a satiric and rather rough column in the Philadelphia Inquirer that portrayed him as a swaggering pol who spoke and thought like Archie Bunker. Rizzo looks tough, even hobbling around with the aid of a cane (the result of a broken hip suffered during an oil-refinery explosion in Philadelphia last October). He also talks tough; in his 1971 "law-'n'-order" campaign, he called his opponents "bleeding hearts, dangerous radicals, pinkos and faggots."

...Soviet shippers can get away with such tactics for simple economic reasons. Their operating costs are low.

It turns people on; the reactions have been very good." Those who took the course ranged from police and firemen at Bunker Hill Community College in Boston to Don Dutro, 24, an electronics worker in Los Angeles, who this semester took "Adams" along with four other telecourses at Orange Coast College...
...blew up on the front nine with a 41 before the clubhouse turn. He strung together bogeys at the start and smothered a drive into the tree-canopied rough along the seventh. He fluffed his second shot into a bunker and knocked his chip over the green for a double bogey. Vik turned things around from the twelfth hole on, after exploding from a sand to within three feet...
