...Some critics claim that we have produced a class of people who are unable to achieve skills or support themselves. Can your program offer much to this group...
Other witnesses claim they saw a gunman jump into a mustard-colored small car and speed away after the seventh assault. A yellow Volkswagen was seen near the site of last week's attack No. 8. Yet more than 25,000 yellow Volkswagens are registered in New York State, and police have little confidence that state computers can narrow the number of owners who also roughly fit the killer's age range and physical description. The job of tracing ownership of the 28,000 Bulldog revolvers made by Charter Arms Corp. of Stratford, Conn., over the past five...
Reformers claim much of the credit for the departure since 1975 of 60% of more than 150 porn shops, X-rated moviehouses and bars that had sprouted on Hollywood's main streets.

But Times people also claim that local coverage has improved since Sydney Schanberg became metropolitan editor in May, replacing Mitchel Levitas, who was moved sideways to edit the Sunday Week in Review section. Schanberg straightaway told his 100 or so metropolitan reporters that he wanted everybody "to have fun." Productivity has increased among reporters who were previously alienated, bored...
