...this would require 5,000 extra buses to transport 250,000 children daily. Gitelson scoffs at all such huge estimates as "merely an exercise in mathematics." Yet the plan does seem impractical, and City Councilman Marvin Braude just could be right when he calls it "a disaster for our community." In a typical if oversimplified anti-integration complaint, he argues that "you just can't solve all the inequities in our society by putting the burden on small schoolchildren."

...providing for the removal from office of public officials who refuse to waive immunity before a grand jury. Addonizio faces tough opposition if he decides to seek re-election in May. While the city's blacks are politically divided, Addonizio has a determined challenger on the right. City Councilman Anthony Imperiale, an Independent whose anti-black stand has won him wide support from Newark's white lower middle class, has already announced his intention of running for mayor. For Newark voters who truly want to make the city a community of which they can be proud, the election...
