...talking about the possibility of arming anti-Marxist rebels to challenge the Neto regime.) According to Vance, such cooperation might even lead to a "reconciliation" between Zaire and Angola, both of whose regimes have supported insurgent movements on the other's territory. And the Secretary moved almost as fast as he spoke. Within 24 hours, U.S. Diplomat Donald F. McHenry was en route to Luanda to search for a new modus vivendi with Neto...
...January the corn fructose makers sued the Agriculture Department, charging that the agency had violated Congress's intent by not moving fast enough on the 1977 law. The plaintiffs then began a search of Government files for incriminating evidence. The lawyers asked for 20 documents that the Agriculture and Justice departments insisted on having reviewed by White House officials to determine whether they should be withheld on grounds of Executive privilege. They included presidential memorandums and minutes of Cabinet meetings. Since March the corn growers' lawyers have been asking about the status of the documents. Last week they...
Elsie's--Mt. Auburn St. You win. This is without argument the home of the best fast food in the Square: thick, reasonably-priced sandwiches that make you wonder why you ever put up with Mom's lousy cooking.

First, a word of caution: we are using the term "fast food" extremely loosely. The Square does not feature a MacDonald's (for that you have to head down Mass Ave toward Central Square), a Burger King or anything else that qualifies as a certified member of the American pantheon of garbage-food emporiums. In fact, the use of the word "food" might be a complete misnomer--"grease" would probably be more accurate, but nobody wants to step up to a counter and ask for "fast grease." That's tacky. However, if you time the interval between dinner and your...
...plot was determined by Berkowitz's actions--and the purpose of the book--which was apparently to make lots of money--the authors had little freedom. What starts out as a penetrating portrait of the middle-class tragedy that was Berkowitz's first murder, of necessity turns into a fast-paced detective yarn. It seems as if the authors realized that they did not have enough time to delve into the subtle ramifications of each of Berkowitz's crimes, and settled on the Mickey Spillane approach instead. It is a shame; the book could have been much more powerful...
