...refreshingly uninhibited at first now may strike people as overly opportunistic. Asserts Tom D'Alesandro III, the former mayor of Baltimore who supported Brown in 1976: "He was a mystery then-this unique young man from out of the West who came in on a whirlwind. People now either like or dislike Jerry Brown. The mystery is gone...
...offices of all but one opposition political party in Tehran. The exception was the National Front, the ineffectual old party of the late Premier Mohammed Mossadegh.

Today, as the profession attempts to upgrade itself, more and more nurses are in the classroom rather than the ward, pursuing either two-year associate degrees or four-year baccalaureate degrees at colleges and universities. Enrollment in such courses has jumped so sharply (from 67,000 to 194,000 in the past decade) that more than half of traditional training programs have shut down for lack of students and money. One likely casualty: the 106-year...
