...suspect, an 18-year-old Arlington man, has since (or so it is rumored) been whisked back to the Navy, from which he was AWOL, the debris atop the granite stadium has been cleared, and a brand new press box--one that will never burn down--is nearly ready to start off the 1981 season...
RETIREMENT. Claiming that controllers burn out faster than other federal employees, PATCO sought an earlier retirement age and higher pension benefits. At present a controller can retire with half pay at age 50 if he has worked for 20 years, and at any age after serving 25 years.

Every day, U.S. commercial airlines buy and burn $31 million in gasoline and jet-aviation fuel. Air carriers are a primary market for companies as diverse as Boeing Co. of Seattle, the world's leading maker of commercial aircraft, and Marriott Corp. of Washington, B.C., a hotel, entertainment and food services company that daily provided approximately 180,000 meals aloft before the strike.

The difficulty, of course, lies with those of us for whom half a cup of ice cream is a trifling preamble to an evening of empty...
...Pope John Paul II in a cameo role, praying for Cardinal Donahue's dying mistress. Along the way there are other, even less beguiling vignettes: in one scene Greeley portrays "a disciple of the Berrigans'," proclaiming that "we will make bombs, find guns; we will burn, trash and destroy." That is not what the Berrigans have ever preached, as Greeley well knows. But it is a symptom of the rage that runs through the novel. Kennedy's fighting Irish brawl, then hug and forgive. Greeley tries to allow his to do the same, but while the ritual...
