...even a major-league baseball player. I know I could play the role of a Governor but that I could never really sit in his chair and make decisions affecting the education of millions of children." And Bonanza's Hoss, alias Dan Blocker, tells the folks: "I earn my living in front of a camera-pretending to be somebody I'm not. But one of my colleagues is having trouble separating fantasy from reality . . ." "It's true I've never held public office," Reagan retorts. "But if we're going to base the election...

In financial circles, it is commonly said that "Funston has 1,366 bosses," a reference to the exchange's 1,366 often warring members. The exchange's constitution allots so much power to its board of governors that the president is often regarded as merely...
...million worth of its bonds. Maryland's Chesapeake Bay Bridge near Annapolis carries more than double the original estimate of traffic, the Baltimore Harbor Tunnel 20% more. Maryland authorities are looking for ways to build second crossings for both links. Kentucky, Oklahoma, Ohio and Texas turnpikes all earn two to three times more than they need to pay interest on the bond issues that built them...
