...this philosophy filters down through the ranks to the officer on the beat, it changes into what might be called a "be tough" attitude.

The Ranger's slogan--"We the people of Blackstone, in what we do we do the best"--evokes the following comment from a local youth officer: "Their slogan makes sense. What they do best is shoot, stab, fight, intimidate, extort money from businesses, and threaten little kids into paying them dues." Bullets...
...even New York's City Hall cannot employ 20,000. Ideally, the mass of Democrats and independents who worked for Lindsay in '65, could be persuaded to change their registration.

Now the evidence has begun to come in. Harvard University scientists have succeeded in isolating and analyzing two of the Hitherto theoretical substances that repress gene activity...
...open its borders with a no-visa-required policy for everyone. Excellent hotels have sprung up along the Dalmatian coast, especially at Split and Dubrovnik. Rates remain low ($14 a day, including meals), and additional private-enterprise restaurants are being encouraged. To speed tourists in and out, there are direct flights from Rome and a new, two-lane asphalt highway. Only drawback: in rushing the new road to completion, no guard rails were installed along nearly 400 miles of highway that winds hundreds of feet above the Adriatic...
