Sure enough, what emerges is no astronaut, considering the oversize checkered cap perched on unruly shocks of blond hair, black velvet jacket, red scarf, clodhopper shoes and, of course, trademark potato nose. After 30 years with the circus, Oleg Popov, 49, is regarded as the king of clowns even beyond Soviet borders. How long did it take to dream...

And McCue does not expect CRP to be able to move out until 1982, when the Kennedy School finds room for them in their headquarters...
...need for them to sacrifice the programs that keep them above the poverty line when they see their government spend $60 billion on a giant shell-game for its missiles. Families will miss the logic of why they have to earn less and borrow nothing as the only cure for aching inflation, when they realize this policy aims to placate only the business community, lately the biggest beneficiary of the federal government. The unemployed will miss the point of an economic policy that deliberately deprives them of jobs for the sake of the few tenths of a percentage point their...
