...seemed to be lurching toward a payless payday for 50,000 employees. But at the last moment temporary help came-from Illinois Governor James Thompson and Mayor Byrne. The rescue package calls for $200 million in loans, guaranteed by the city, to give Chicago's board time to come up with a long-term solution to the school system's financial woes-which will almost certainly require tax increases. In effect, Mayor Byrne explained, the school board was in receivership and the city was the credit holder...
...callow, she snub-nosed, discreetly nubile, with a hint of freckles. Much of what happens to them is intended as dramatic improvement on the work of the original scriptwriters, Matthew and Luke. Mary's father, for instance, is crucified for criticizing the government. Joseph's family has come down in the world, its ancestral wealth having been snatched from it by greedy King Herod.

...blitz of the East and Midwest, The Who found itself performing after a crowd stampede that killed eleven people. The tragedy took place outside Riverfront Coliseum as thousands of kids holding unreserved seats charged across a concrete plaza toward two unlocked entrances. The group had not yet come onstage. "If it had happened inside," said Townshend, "I would never have played again." The musicians could not be blamed and, indeed, did not learn what had happened until after the concert.
