...Crimson review of pizza last year touched off a "debate," as the pizza gourmets came out of the woodwork to defend their favorites. Joe's Pizza at 1 Linden St., and its sister shop on Plympton St., feature a thin crust. Pinocchio's at 74 Winthrop St. sells subs and pizza; most people who like a thicker crust frequent Pinocchio...
...entail, could help spark a rebirth of democracy and a militance about popular participation in making decisions that hasn't been seen in this country since the New Deal. Nixon is right. It is time to stop wallowing in issues of personal guilt or innocence. It's time to defend ourselves against assaults against democracy and to ensure that the fruits of that democracy are shared equally by all.

Also, the lesser Watergate cases must be settled quickly, prosecutors say, so that evidence developed with cooperative defendants can be used against...
...reason such suits can be maintained, says Bator, is the realistic fact that "the Government does not have to be conceived as a single, indivisible entity." Another law professor illustrates the point with the example of a police officer who gives his chief a speeding ticket. The chief cannot defend against the traffic charge in court by claiming that the ticketing officer works...
