Rustin's economic charter called for a million new public-service jobs for the poverty-stricken, passage of an omnibus housing bill, extension to farm workers of labor bargaining rights, more funds for welfare budgets and emergency food programs for the poor. Abernathy's fiery new demonstration director, Hosea Williams, sneered that Rustin's manifesto was an unauthorized "bunch of foolishness." Rustin asked for Abernathy's support. It was not forthcoming, and he quit. Abernathy had already named a replacement, and Rustin's departure left Resurrection City to ranters...
...result of this diversity of background, the Council, which under Cambridge's Plan E. charter is supposed to set policy for the City, usually doesn't even do that. The direction of the City's government is set either by the manager himself, as it was in the DeGuglielmo regime, or by one councillor with the ear of the manager--a role which Crane fulfilled skillfully during the Curry administration. At present, Crane appears to be developing the same sort of close working relationship with Dunphy. An arrangement like this probably necessary if the City...
Fourteen years ago, Munir Abu-Haidar founded Trans-Mediterranean Airways as a creaky charter service linking Beirut with neighboring wastelands where oil was being scouted. Today the line flies not only to England and the European Continent, but also to Bombay, Karachi, Tokyo and Taipei. Last year its planes logged 34 million ton-miles, 41% more than the previous year. Last week Abu-Haidar was negotiating for the lease of two 707 jets, with which he hopes to increase his ton-mileage to 50 million...

With that credential, he arranged the lease of an aging four-engine York, the transport version of England's Lancaster bomber of World War II. Operating out of a one-room office in Beirut, Abu-Haidar was soon getting charter business not only from Aramco but from other oil companies as well. He leased three additional Yorks, manned them with former R.A.F. flyers who knew...
...part, Kuchel is mending fences from the Mexican border to the Oregon line, defending his past failure to support fellow Republicans Reagan, Nixon and George Murphy, and hammering so hard for law and order that, as one critic put it, "he makes Barry Goldwater sound like one of the charter members of the A.D.A." No match for Rafferty on the stump, the Senator so far has avoided a direct confrontation. His tactics appear to be paying off. Kuchel has recovered from an early slump in the polls, and by last week seemed headed for another victory in June...
