...President McKinley never visited Mount McKinley. It would be interesting to see if other Alaskan landmarks-Mount Foraker, Jefferson Peak, Fillmore Peak, Mount Cleveland, Grant Peak, Lincoln Island, Wilson Creek or Point Hayes-were visited by people for whom they were named. All information I find indicates they were...
...first public bid for Carborundum was made by Eaton Corp., the Cleveland-based auto-parts maker, nearly three weeks ago; Eaton offered $47 a share for Carborundum, a pretty premium of $14 for a stock that never sold higher than 40% during the past ten years. When Carborundum rejected that offer, a furious auction began that finally concluded early last week in the Manhattan offices of Morgan Stanley & Co., which represented Carborundum.

He accused Republican Mayor Ralph Perk in the primary of selling out to business interests and neglecting the neighborhoods. Perk finished a poor third behind Kucinich and State Representative Feighan...

Behind the current resurgence of balloting on issues is a post-Watergate distrust of elected officials and a growing impatience with state legislatures, which the constituents often feel are lead-footed and overly cautious. Says Robert Hughes, a G.O.P. chairman in the Cleveland area: "People are saying, 'By God, the power is vested in the people, and if the elected officials won't respond to what the people want, then we'll do something about it.' " Many politicians are delighted about the trend, though for a less-than-lofty...
