...Brookline-Elm route, it was the inability of anyone to generate enough political pressure to counterbalance the businesses and M.I.T., and thereby force the Council into making a decision. The leadership in the affected neighborhoods was totally futile. A protest march on City Hall in late February drew only 100 people. (Incidentally, only one City Councillor showed up, and none apparently made any effort to help with any wider, more systematic organization. Except for the Council chambers, it seemed, the Councillors did relatively little...
...billed as a "general strike"-a major protest against the moderate government of Chilean President Eduardo Frei. But when it came off last week, it proved a dud.

"That model code," needled Black, "is that in the Constitution...
...Stephen Dennison, 16, a boy from a broken home, swiped $5 worth of candy from a roadside candy stand near Salem, N.Y. For that one act, the boy drew a ten-year burglary sentence-and was later buried alive for 34 years by an avalanche of injustice that matches the nightmare novels of Franz Kafka...
