Please tell Mario Puzo that he was not alone in the forests when he was tracking Senecas and Iroquois as a youth. I, too, loved with a passion the novels of Joseph Altsheler, and couldn't take them out of the public library fast enough. Doc Savage, too, of course. But while my friends all know about Doc Savage, most of them have never heard of the Altsheler books. If Puzo wants to set up a small Altsheler memorial from little boys who grew up to be writers, I'm ready...
This conflict points to an issue crucial to the power plant controversy: Harvard argues that it must continue construction at a fast rate or costs will skyrocket, while power plant opponents fear that the extensive construction only serves to strengthen the University's case for a reversal of the DEQE decision. Bracken said University officials involved with the construction "are moving ahead as fast as they possibly can--the more they put in, the more difficult it will be to stop them."Mission Hill residents last April delivered a petition against the Medical School Area power plant to President...
...number of Senators were irritated by the Administration's tactics in getting the compromise approved.

But the fellow who is sworn in as President on Jan. 20, 1981-Jimmy or Jerry or Teddy or somebody-will inherit an economy that, Greenspan feels, will rise with a bang...
...main resistance came from a bloc of ultraconservatives who favored Siri, a fact that encouraged fence sitters to swing to Luciani. So the fourth and final vote was fast-and was speeded further by the Cardinals' decision to dispense with the ritual declarations that were required during the earlier sessions as each man deposited his ballot in the chalice. As the count went on, no other name but Luciani's was read out. There were a number of blank ballots cast by Curialist and conservative bitter-enders. But roughly 90 votes went to Luciani, and Vatican Radio described...
