...weeks of their vacation for the trip to Dartmouth without their wives and children. After 14 days of nonstop classes, plus evenings devoted to Spanish movies, music and Spanish bingo games, some of the New Yorkers found their enthusiasm for sylvan New England dwindling. I've had enough of rural America," said Officer David Weaver, 36. Added Officer Marino Cesarini, 33: "It's like living in a plastic bubble up here. They may have only one murder in 100 years...
...total ignorance of the language. Their ability to communicate got higher marks. The officers' Spanish grammar isn't perfect, and their vocabulary totals only some 1,000 words, but as Sergeant Edward Spinola, 39, explains: "I can communicate, where before I was totally lost." That is good enough for Transit Police Chief Sanford Garelik, who said last week that he was looking for funds for more Rassias-style training in languages besides Spanish that have become native to New York City-including Greek, Italian, Russian and Chinese...
...loss of more than $400 million, double last year's $204.6 million deficit. Chairman John Riccardo has made a dozen trips to Washington since mid-1978 to plead for tax breaks and relief from some federal environmental and safety regulations.

His gambling power game kept Borg off balance, and his thunderball serves bailed him out of numerous trouble spots. But Borg was as relentless as ever, and worked skillfully on Tanner's weakest point, his backhand. After Tanner won a tie breaker to capture the first set, Borg breezed through the second, breaking service twice. Tanner came right back...
...press is not too powerful; if anything, it is not powerful enough. Those who want to curb the press point out that it is no longer the "fragile" thing it was when the First Amendment was written. But neither is the Government. When Franklin Roosevelt took office, the federal budget, in 1979 dollars, amounted to about $38 billion. In fiscal 1980, it will be around $530 billion. When Roosevelt took office, the federal bureaucracy consisted of 600,000 people. Today it adds up to 2,858,344. Such figures can only suggest that the growth of Government has been...
