...areas where a school, a hospital, an industrial site or a library is needed by all, the facility is often too expensive for any one community. The development district, ideally embracing a population of 75,000 to 150,000, could not only make more efficient use of the resources within it, but would also qualify more readily for federal and state grants. Participation would be voluntary, as with the demonstration cities program, and the local group would have to take the initiative...
...guess we are pretty much agreed on everything," admits Democratic Candidate Orin Lehman. "There isn't much difference on issues," says his Republican opponent, Theodore Kupferman. Their Alphonse-Gaston dialogue has brought stupefaction to voters of New York's 17th Congressional District, one of the most sophisticated, issue-conscious constituencies in America. Covering the east-central quarter of Manhattan Island, the district includes the art, music, publishing, theatrical and television nerve centers of the nation, upper-level Greenwich Village latitudes, and the gold-paved stretches of Fifth and Park avenues.

...ruling had a special meaning for Attorney Hutt, who appeared as amicus curiae in support of North Carolina's Driver. Though he had started the whole thing, Hutt was disappointed when the conviction of his own client was upheld last month by the District of Columbia Circuit Court. Now he is almost positive that the North Carolina decision will be followed by the D.C. Circuit Court which has agreed to reconsider his appeal. If that happens, Hutt predicts, the eight other U.S. circuit courts will follow suit...
