...problems that plague Detroit (pop. 1.4 million) differ only in magnitude from those that afflict other large cities in the U.S.: an eroding tax base as affluent whites abandon the core city; reduced services, including police protection; widespread unemployment, particularly among black youths; neighborhoods where housing and other buildings have been allowed to deteriorate; and low-quality schools. Perhaps more debilitating than any of these is a growing feeling that nothing will-or can-be done to reverse the trend...
...year, national party regulations rather than state laws were defined as the final authority on convention procedures. Thus, without Ford's so-called justice amendment, all delegates would be legally free to vote for whomever they wished. Reagan delegates fought the change on the ground that state laws differ in the delegate-selection process and are not really clear on whether delegates are firmly bound. The convention, Reagan aides warned, could bog down in wrangling over interpretations, case by case.

Some of the biggest capital spenders are electric utilities, which are rushing to keep up with ever rising demand, and textile makers, who are in the midst of a boom. In the auto industry, where sales are soaring, Ford will increase its spending 40%, to $1.4 billion this year, and Chrysler will raise outlays 18%, to $450 million.

...this brisk defense of George III shows, the British still differ with the U.S. over what happened in 1776. But after 200 years, they are prepared to be good losers. One notable sign: the lavish pictorial exhibit celebrating their defeat that is currently on display at Greenwich's National Maritime Museum, where it is expected to attract more than 1 million visitors. Two years in the making, "1776, the British Story of the American Revolution" traces events from just before the Stamp Act was imposed, in 1764, to George Ill's gracious acceptance of credentials from John Adams...
