Costs range from $50 for the cheapest models, which are like running shoes with wheels, to $400 for custom skates with high tops for maximum ankle support. Dayton-based Snyder Roller Skate Co., which outfitted the U.S. athletes at the Pan-Am Games, makes precision-built skates for professional rollers. Sales of its basic but still pricey ($109 to $175) models have risen by 30% in the past year. The roller boom has spawned a flock of sidewalk entrepreneurs who rent skates from the backs of vans. But the people who are really cleaning up, besides the equipment suppliers...
Minority Rights. On the last day of the session, the court upheld massive school busing to desegregate schools in Columbus and Dayton, Ohio. The decisions, reached by 7-to-2 and 5-to-4 votes, reaffirmed a rule established by the court in 1973: if a plaintiff proves that a school board has intentionally segregated part of its system, then a federal judge can order sweeping desegregation for all of the system.

That contrast asserts Arnold Rosenfeld, editor of the Dayton Daily News, often favors TV personalities "who we print journalists think do a pretty lame job of news gathering." If Rosenfeld's paper headlines a local story 3 DIE IN FLAMING CRASH, the paper's spare recital of the facts is "seen as a coldhearted attempt to retail...
...news over the good." They are convinced that this is done just to sell papers; they admit to liking to read crime news but feel a little ashamed in doing so. They think their home town is better than the newspaper paints it. Talking to his own readers in Dayton, Editor Rosenfeld found them questioning the editor's self-righteous conviction that he only reports a world he never made: "Readers see us as moral vigilantes . . . the voice of asperity and sterile detachment." One answer to declining newspaper readership, Rosenfeld seems to suggest, is a more human tone...
