...blacks complained that they were too often the targets of the unit's quick-on-the-trigger whites; in their first four months in action, STRESS officers killed eight blacks. Young promised to disband STRESS, put more cops on the beat, and decentralize the 5,500-member force by setting up 50 neighborhood police stations. In the end, the election was decided chiefly along racial lines: 92% of the blacks voted for Young; 91% of the whites for Nichols. In a city now more than 50% black, Young won with a 14,000-vote margin...
...turbulent years of his exile, guerrilla groups on both the left and right were formed as underground cells to advance their militant causes. Most of these cells fought for Peron's return, but now that the old man is back in the saddle, they have refused to disband. Instead, they have taken to kidnaping businessmen as a means of financing their operations. And Peronists have increasingly turned on each other. A left-wing Peronist lawyer and his wife were recently murdered in Buenos Aires, presumably by rightists, and a member of the leftist Peronist Youth Movement charged that...
Music to play? "Yes," sighs Jane Taylor, the Dorian bassoonist, "I've seen other wind quintets disband simply because they've run out of things to play." The Dorian's solution to the scanty quintet repertory has been virtually to create a new one. In its agile, luminous concert at Manhattan's Lincoln Center last week, the group played 19th Century Czech Composer Anton Reicha's forgotten E-Flat-Major Quintet, Henry Brant's transcription of Bach's Goldberg Variations and a new work that it commissioned from Pulitzer Prize Composer Jacob Druckman...
...night, when few dare to venture out. But black and white remedies differed. Nichols had set up a controversial street crime unit called STRESS (Stop the Robberies, Enjoy Safe Streets), which had cut down crime but antagonized blacks by shooting too often from the hip. Promising that he would disband STRESS, Young proposed to put more cops on the beat and to set up mini-police stations in 50 different neighborhoods. Both candidates also offered a variety of thoughtful proposals for better housing and transportation...
Iron Fence. Her desire to be surrounded by her possessions and his explains why she abandoned her plan to move to a hotel: "I like to be with my own things. Besides, the duke wanted me to go on this way." Another reason is her reluctance to disband her staff of 17 servants. Still another factor: Black Diamond and Gin-Seng, the last of the dynasty of pug dogs who pranced about the Windsors in a thousand news photos. "We are all happier here, and safer than in a hotel," says the duchess. "I have always been timid," she admits...
