...little choice but to put his longtime Senate assistant, William White, in charge. White, 42, knows how to organize his boss's workday but has little savvy about organizing a national political drive. It is already too late in the day for Glenn's campaign to employ any direct-mail program; the candidate dithered around for months and would not make up his mind. The indecision has cut seriously into money raising. Glenn's recent spurt in the polls-he drew close to Mondale and ran 17 points ahead of Reagan-was a golden opportunity to zero...
...economic entity, greater Los Angeles is world class: if the area seceded, it would have a G.N.P. larger than that of Mexico or Australia. The movie and TV business is only the hot tip of L.A.'s biggest job sector, its service industries, which together employ 882,000 people. There is a muscular side as well, with 869,000 workers in manufacturing, about a third in aerospace and other clean, high-tech industries. But parts of the city could pass for Buffalo. On the waterfront in Long Beach sit stacks of blue and orange cargo containers. In Lynwood, railroad tracks...
...major problem in assessing the worth of bilingual programs is that they often employ teachers who are less than competent in either English or Spanish, or in, the specific subjects they teach.

Says former Boston School Superintendent Robert Wood: "Many bilingual teachers do not have a command of English, and after three years of instruction under them, children also emerge without a command of English." Another complicating factor is the inability of researchers...
...suppose I should employ the old mother-in-law joke about mixed feelings. It's like seeing your mother-in-law going over a cliff in your new Cadillac." With that happy-go-lucky quip, L. (for Langhorne) Anthony Motley confirmed to newsmen that he would be replacing Thomas O. Enders as Assistant Secretary of State for Inter-American Affairs. The mixed feelings might apply equally well to Thomas R. Pickering, who was unexpectedly nominated last week for the daunting position of U.S. Ambassador to El Salvador. But the good-humored nonchalance was vintage Motley...
...stop at nothing less than "one man, one vote," and the whites will never grant that to them. The junior who asked not to be identified explains that although there exists a certain level of trust between the two groups because of the high proportion of white families that employ Blacks as domestic servants, trust disintegrates with the realization that not only do Blacks no longer accept their subservient position, but they also feel anger and hatred toward the whites who have oppressed them...
