Despite an evident, shared disdain for federal regulators and regulations, all the mayors exploit grant programs as much as they can. In Harrisburg, Doutrich would Like to accommodate constituents who want to convert a one-way avenue back to two-way flow. But to do so would violate the state-dictated traffic pattern and risk the loss of a $1 million highway subsidy. Richard Baker of Newark, Ohio, who used to sell and service electronic equipment, has winkled out enough economic development grants from Washington to refurbish his downtown. With some relish he tells about his chess game against...

Thus it is all the more urgent that we exploit to the utmost the marvelous tools that space technology has already given us.

The response of the industrial nations, a forced limit on petroleum imports, will, their leaders agree, bring about a lowering of living standards. In the immediate future, the U.S. most likely will be able...

KILLING THE MONSTER is also sanctioned by the Church. The triumph of Britain's Hammar horror films is that thay exploit the connection between aggression, sex, and religion. Each blow of that long, hard stake into the writhing female vampire's bosom practically reverberates with church bells. Perhaps unintentionally, these movies make it easy to see how poor, repressed Puritans could have burned men and women at the stake for witchcraft. Chances are, we would have done the same...
