...balding, rubicund resident of Martha's Vineyard for 38 years, Boyle must control the tone as well as the direction of questioning in the "nonaccusatory" proceeding. A 1929 graduate of what was then the Southeastern Massachusetts Law School, Boyle, 62, served as Dukes County Superior Court clerk for 27 years before former Governor John A. Volpe appointed him to the District Court bench in 1961. Some observers question his judicial competence, and one acquaintance asserts that Boyle was so innocent of the law that he thought he could remain superior court clerk even after his appointment to the District...
These Soviet instructors have no operational control, but their key positions provide Moscow with daily intelligence on Egyptian military movements and preparedness-which Russia disastrously miscalculated in 1967. Egyptian officers complain that their Russian advisers are aloof and overbearing, work them too hard, and do not teach enough mobile warfare. According to the official slogan, Egyptian-Soviet friendship is "loftier than the Aswan Dam and more solid than the Pyramids." In fact, the relationship is pragmatic rather than cordial.

After long years of struggle with private interests, liberals in favor of big government* were now in control. In their hands, government swelled enormously and impinged on individual lives as never before. But things were not as they seemed, says Lowi. Rather than effectively applying federal power, the liberals were paradoxically parceling it out to a variety of special interests-some old, some new and better organized. It was not the Federal Government but blocs of farmers...
...senior civil service group, for example, composed of generalists with ties to no single agency, who would be responsible for providing a "proper centralization of a democratic administrative process." Sloppily written laws, he feels, have been much to blame for the failure of government. Accordingly, he would strengthen congressional control over federal programs by putting a five-to ten-year limit on all organic acts of legislation. Congress would then be free to overhaul or eliminate programs that do not turn out as they were intended. He would end de facto apartheid in congested areas by breaking down the artificial...
